Reminder over memorial tributes ahead of grass cutting season
LOCAL families are reminded to arrange for the removal of memorial tributes if they wish to keep them, and any wreaths and flowers which are not in a suitable receptacle, before the end of January.
The council’s burial services team is preparing for this year’s grass cutting season from 1 February, and will remove and dispose of any material which is not in a suitable container.
Where no permanent memorial exists, council staff will try to leave one funeral wreath in the memorial area until such time as it significantly deteriorates.
Anyone who has any queries should contact burial services on 01595 744853 or 744898, or email burials@shetland.gov.uk.
