Elizabeth, www.cabe.org.uk/files/cemeteries-churchyards-and-burial-grounds.pdf will give you some answers. I mistyped the link. My apologies. Trevor "A interesting discussion has been taking place on another list about cemetery care. Can anyone tell me how it is handled in the UK, Gloucestershire particularly, please? Who owns the cemeteries, and the plots? Who is responsible for their care? Is interment permanent or are there times when bodies are removed, and if so, to where?"
