At Cotes Road, families can put temporary flowers and vases on a new grave while the earth settles. The council usually lays turf after about 12 to 18 months. Look for the notice at the cemetery so you have time to take home anything you want to keep.
Planting flowers by a headstone
On a lawn grave you can ask the council about planting annual flowers or bulbs in the narrow strip in front of the stone. Families tend that strip themselves. The Garden of Remembrance has different rules and its plots are kept free of planting.
