Tree and Seat Adoption

The Council has taken the decision not to allow trees to be adopted as memorials in West Cemetery. The trees that have been planted are of a woodland species and are currently being managed by thinning until the correct number to be retained for the future is reached.

The Council will accept the donation of memorial seats, however, the type and quality of seat must be approved. Siting of seats is restricted to certain locations within the cemetery.

Any enquries regarding the donation of memorial benches or seating should be addressed to the Cemetery Manager at info@great-aycliffe.gov.uk
