My local cemetery is doing my head in, just found out if we want to bring our own headstone we need to apply for a permit for the price of 600€. Last week a got a letter telling us to remove the stones we placed around the grave, we’d been collecting them from the countryside, the grave is fresh so these were only used until we can put in the headstone (4-6weeks more) and to stop the earth washing away (we planted a few flowers until the headstone goes in). For this I’ve been charged 500€ for removal and replacement with a plastic border. At a time when folk are at a low point they really seem to put the boot in. That’s my rant is what it is
