A Message to Users of Madbury Cemetery
The trustees of the Madbury Cemetery have decided that we must ask families and friends of those interred at the cemetery to adhere more closely to the regulations regarding placement of floral baskets, decorations, mementos and other objects on or near burial plots. Although we respect the need for families to memorialize and honor their departed loved ones in various ways that bring them comfort, the need for safe and efficient use and maintenance of the grounds compel us to be more strict in what is allowed to be placed on the cemetery grounds.
As the number of monuments increases, the work required to maintain the grounds also grows, and the large number of objects placed beside gravestones makes that work more difficult. Also, small objects such as ceramic figurines, stones, and breakable or sharp objects such as glass or stamped metal pose a significant safety hazard to groundskeeping staff and visitors as items can be caught up in and thrown by mowing and trimming equipment.
The regulations permit objects such as living plants, decorative statuary or other mementos to be placed on the base – or shoulders – of monuments. Hangers that suspend seasonal flower baskets or other objects from the top of a stone, and small objects placed entirely on top of a monument, while not specifically allowed in the rules, are permissible so long as they are unlikely to fall onto the ground. Also, a wrought iron post or similar upright plant hook stand, pushed into the ground in direct contact with the monument, is acceptable as it allows grass trimming all around the monument. Temporary floral arrangements and plant baskets should be placed beside grave stones. Veterans flags may be placed at any location, but again it is helpful if they are directly beside a monument. Decorations that are illuminated are not allowed and will be removed.
So we ask plot holders and family members during the coming months to remove items that do not comply with the regulations and keep these guidelines in mind when deciding how best to memorialize loved ones.
For more information or clarification, please contact the cemetery trustees. The full text of the Cemetery Regulations are available by clicking on this link.
