Due to recent inclement weather, areas of our cemetery may be slippery and not to our usual standard. To ensure the safety of everyone on site some areas may be closed from time to time if they are identified as posing a greater risk and/or requiring extensive cleaning. We encourage you to remain cautious and postpone your visit where possible.
