Grave owners and visitors who would like to keep their wreaths
are advised to retrieve them before Monday, 22 February 2010.
Julie Proctor, Team Leader for the Cemeteries and Crematorium
Service, stated: "There are many beautiful wreaths brought to the
cemeteries at Christmas time, but unfortunately, by February we do
have to start removing them to allow us to commence our spring
maintenance programme.
"Notices have been placed in all of our cemeteries to let people
know that this will happen and to give grave owners and visitors
plenty of time to collect their wreaths if they wish."
If anyone has any query about the removal of wreaths they should
contact the cemeteries and crematorium service on, tel: 01244
