The council has announced a plan to reuse 152 graves that have not seen any interments in over 75 years, citing limited cemetery space as the driving factor. These graves will be available for at least one further interment and the exclusive burial rights of current owners will be extinguished unless they object within a six-month window after the public notice. The council aims to manage the historical and architectural integrity of grave memorials, while also detailing the procedure for claims and compensation related to ownership of the graves.
The council's decision to reuse graves comes after recognizing diminished space in the cemetery, leading to a public notice affecting 152 grave numbers.
Graves that have not been used for over 75 years can be reused, provided no objection is filed within the six-month period after notice.
