    A beautiful peaceful place where my mum is buried and I visit every week but be careful people have stolen from her grave. The council has rules cars are not allowed in cemetery and dogs are banned dogs are not allowed in the cemetery. At my last visit Dogs are not allowed in the cemetery yet I walk in and see a man throwing a ball playing with his two dogs which I find so disrespectful especially as there is a park right next door where he can walk his dogs. Please follow the rules they are there for a reason and its offensive that you disrespect the dead that are buried there which includes my mum.
