Right to plant on graves - St. Mary's Church, Garforth

Please allow families and friends to come to terms with their grief by planting on the graves of their loved ones.

My dad died March the 9th this year he was 55 years old. He died of cancer which we only found out he had at the end of January. I go to his grave and I put flowers on and try keep it looking tidy, he was a Gardner and loved flowers. His grave is the only thing I have left of him, if I could plant flowers and put a boarder up it would be much appreciated.

Absolutely awful

Truly undignified act, my heart is with the parents , how insensitive

I believe relatives should be able to plant and decorate the graves of those they love

This is so sad. X

Do it

The council can get stuffed. There is no way they can do a thing like this. It is absolutely disrespectful. I hope this thing never happens and I hope it never will do

Please sign this petition

Appalling when people are grieving.

I agree we should be able to make our loved ones resting place beautiful. To lose a child.........I cannot even begin to imagine how important it is for the grieving parents. Please allow people to be individuals and have choices.......don't take this away from the also.

Disgraceful

flowers are the only thing people can lay to show their love and devotion to the ones who have sadly left us , rip Amelia xx

Totally unacceptable!

How ridiculous why shouldn't people be able to keep their loved ones final resting place pretty & welcoming. They should pay more attention to the "unkept" tatty graves & leave the "well kept" ones alone.

Disgraceful behaviour by the council and church .

So disrespectful I don't live in this area however no matter where this was in the country I would sign it as it's disgraceful

A grave of a loved one is a place to remember the good times and cry for the lost time. When a grave is tended so beautifully it should be respected. So many graves have no one who cares.

I'm appalled at the disrespect in English church yards to destroy a grave is unforgivable

Absolutley disgusting action by LCC adding to the pain and grief that Amelias parents and loved ones are going through. Should be ashamed of yourselves Leeds City Council Thoughts are with Amelias family and all other families affected
