Cemetery Etiquette Please understand that there are many reasons why graves are unmarked or overgrown. Most
cemetery visitors are those attending funerals or visiting the graves of
their loved ones. Anyone using this site should: • respect the cemetery and its visitors • obey all the posted rules and regulations of the cemetery • leave the cemetery as they find it • do nothing to the gravestones that damages them in any way by walking, standing or climbing on them • not disturb items in or around the graves •
not take anything from the cemetery except litter Lastly, be safety conscious. Many of the older gravestones and kerbings can be loose and there may be ground subsidence, so tread warily. Also be aware of personal safety and exercise common sense, particularly if you are visiting a cemetery on your own.
