Following strong winds and extremely gusty conditions recently, many vases and unauthorised items on graves were damaged and the cleanup of broken glass and ceramics by staff is ongoing.
It is Canberra Cemeteries’ policy that, in the interests of staff and public safety, only items made of unbreakable materials may be placed on graves. Staff are required to remove items that may pose a threat to themselves or the public, particularly those that are broken or are on the lawn.
Glass, china or ceramic objects may be removed without notice.
We respectfully encourage visitors not to leave items of sentimental or monetary value in such a public place due to occasional theft or damage.
