Flowers

Except where the design of a headstone includes an integral receptacle, plants or cut flowers may be placed in a removable container which must be sunk flush with the ground.

Where a flower vase is the only memorial, it must be no more than 300mm (1'0") high, measured from the surface of the ground, nor more than 300mm (1'0") wide, or more than 250mm (10") front to back, and must be securely fixed to a foundation stone which itself shall be flush with the ground and nor more than 300mm (1'0") in either dimension.

Wreaths and cut flowers may also be laid on a grave, but must be removed as soon as they have withered.   No artificial flowers are allowed except for Remembrance Day poppies and traditional Christmas wreaths, which must be removed after a period of not more than two months.

Any vase, flowers or wreath not complying with the above rules may be removed by, or with the authority of, the incumbent or the churchwardens during a vacancy.
