🕊️ Final Days to Share Your Thoughts 🕊️

We’re now in the closing days of the consultation on how memorials are managed in our cemeteries. Thank you to everyone who’s taken part so far. Your insights, experiences, and reflections will help shape a more thoughtful and respectful approach to this important issue.

If you haven’t yet responded, there’s still time. The survey closes on Tuesday 30 September, and every voice counts. Whether you’re a deed holder, visit loved ones regularly, may wish to purchase a deed in future or simply care about how these spaces are cared for, then your views matter.

🕊️ Let’s Talk Memorials – Join Us at Jubilee Hall 🕊️

On Monday 15 September, between 12:00pm and 2:00pm, our Cemeteries Service team will be at the Bersted Parish Council offices at Jubilee Hall in Chalcraft Lane for a relaxed drop-in session.

This is another opportunity to speak with us at a location close to the cemetery, offering a convenient setting for those who live nearby or regularly visit.

Whether you’d like help completing the memorial consultation survey, have questions about our cemeteries more broadly, or simply want to share your thoughts, we’d love to meet you.

đź’¬ Why it matters:
Our cemeteries are places of remembrance, reflection, and quiet connection—not only with loved ones, but with nature too. We know how important it is to honour grief with dignity, while also protecting the wildlife that calls these spaces home. These priorities aren’t in conflict; they’re part of the same care and respect we owe to future generations.

Your feedback helps us find that balance. Every response to the consultation helps shape how we not only manage memorials and support bereaved families, but also preserve the natural beauty of these spaces as their custodians.

🗨️ Drop in for a moment of reflection and conversation. Let’s make sure our cemeteries continue to offer comfort, meaning, and harmony for all.

🕯️ We’re absolutely blown away by the response to our memorials consultation. Thank you to everyone who’s taken part so far including those who spoken with us to find out more. It’s the highest number of replies we’ve ever received for a survey like this, and it’s clear how deeply people care about this important topic.

This consultation is about more than just policy, it’s about how we honour loved ones, protect wildlife, and ensure our cemeteries remain peaceful, accessible and respectful spaces for generations to come. Your views will directly inform updates to our cemeteries regulations, which are a vital legal framework which includes how memorials are managed, maintained, and permitted. These regulations help us balance personal remembrance with public responsibility, ensuring fairness, safety, and dignity for all.

To make sure everyone has the chance to share their thoughts, we’re extending the consultation until at least 30 September. If you haven’t had your say yet, there’s still time; your voice matters.

🕊️ Today, officers visited our closed cemetery in Bognor Regis, just off Towncross Avenue, as part of our ongoing memorials consultation.

What do we mean by “closed”? This cemetery is no longer open to new burials, as all available space has been used. However, families may occasionally request to reopen an existing grave for a further burial, which remains possible in certain circumstances.

Including this site in our consultation is important, not only to acknowledge its continued relevance to local families, but also to reflect on its heritage. First opened over 150 years ago, the cemetery holds a number of historically significant memorials and is set within a landscape of mature trees, offering a peaceful, arboretum-like atmosphere.

Thank you to those who engaged with us this morning. Your thoughts help shape how we care for these spaces with dignity, biodiversity, and long-term stewardship in mind.

🌿 Thank you to everyone who joined us at Mewsbrook Park Café yesterday as part of our memorials consultation.

We’re incredibly grateful for the thoughtful conversations, shared experiences, and genuine interest in shaping how we care for these important spaces.

It was a valuable opportunity to talk through the consultation’s aims, from enhancing biodiversity and accessibility, to supporting bereaved families and protecting the character of our cemeteries for generations to come.

Your insights help ensure that future decisions reflect the needs and values of our whole community.
