Paragraph 15

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

Where the burial authority remove from a grave either the whole of an existing tombstone or other memorial or the part thereof containing any material particulars they may, and shall if so requested by—

  • the owner of the right to place and maintain, or the person granted permission (not expressed to be revocable) to place, the tombstone or other memorial, or

  • a relative of any person buried in the grave,

within a year of the date specified in the notice under paragraph 3 (whether such owner or relative made objection under paragraph 9 or 10 or not), place on the grave at their own expense such memorial stone or tablet as they consider suitable.
