For many years people have been putting flowers and mementoes at crematoriums and grave yards in memory of their loved ones. Bristol City Council has now banned all flowers and mementoes from Canford memorial gardens, that are not located in flower holders incorporated into the memorial stones. The council has removed numerous pots, flower sand mementoes placed by bereaved visitors, many naturally of sentimental importance. Many of these items have also been disposed of by the Council. The council has shown a complete lack of compassion and sensitivity for the bereaved visitors. The crematorium is normally a relaxing peaceful place, surrounded by beautiful flowers whatever the season, it is now much more sombre. The councils reason is to `maintain the appearance of the gardens\'. This is very sad because the relatives and friends who tend the plots, are in fact those who wish to maintain the appearance of the crematorium and are given no consideration or consultation on the matter.
