Council launches new grave care service
Published: 07/12/2020
COPELAND Borough Council is launching a new service to help residents care for their loved one's graves.
The service, which will be offered across all council owned cemeteries, offers people the chance to have maintenance carried out up to four times per year, depending on which plan they choose.
The Council’s Bereavement Services team will ensure headstones are washed, any foliage is cleared and that lettering is maintained and refreshed when needed.
Images of the serviced area will then be sent to the client, once the work has been carried out.

She said: “We know it’s been a difficult year in so many ways for residents and the fact that most people have continued to recycle is outstanding.
