Grave Enhancement Policy
We understand that many of our clients like to embellish their pet’s graves and recognise that this is a part of the process of pet loss. We would encourage those who would like to do this to choose artefacts that are in keeping with the concepts of our park. If you are unsure please talk to us so we can advise what may be suited to the site.
We accept good quality ornaments …
Pottery & Outdoor Ceramic Ornaments: (i.e. Quality ceramic artefacts, flowers on metal stakes can be found at local Markets, Galleries & Garden Centers)
Plants: (with prior discussion with us for suitability in grave area and durability given our difficult gardening conditions).
Special Rocks.
We request that you do not use …
Plastic or degradable novelties i.e. Stuffed Toys etc. They quickly become rubbish and do not add to the environment! Packets or tins of food.
Glass containers as breakages become a safety issue.
Barriers for the isolation of a grave. (Pebbles or shell ground covers are ok as a localised weed suppressant and dressing).
We are a Pets Garden of Remembrance rather than a cemetery, so the environment, not individual graves, is the “Big Picture”.
