It gives comfort to decorate the graves. In addition it helps the bee population survive!

We visit a dear friend at st Mary's who left behind a teenage daughter and son. We've planted many flowers to make it a pleasant place to visit and to remind us of Diane, a lady who always smiled despite everything that was thrown at her. Why would we just want a lump of grass, how is that personal or a reminder of the person we miss and love? Xx

Allow families to grieve as they need to and do not please desecrate the graves of their loved ones.

As far as I'm concerned I've paid for that tiny bit of land and feel that I have every right to do as I see fit

Why can't we plant on our graves, it's where we go to spend time with our loved ones. Don't want to be sat looking at a pile of soil. Disgusting. Xxx

Utterly ridiculous and unsympathetic action by the Council. Allow grieving relatives and friends to restore these graves to their former individual appearance.

Disrespectful to the family of a lost child who comes to her grave to see it in the state it was with no prior warning.
