Regulations for Traditional Kerb Sets
When planning a traditional kerb set, it’s crucial to understand the specific regulations set by cemeteries or churchyards. These rules are designed to maintain the uniformity and appearance of the grounds, as well as to ensure safety for visitors and staff. At County Stone, we provide expert guidance to help you navigate these requirements seamlessly.
Size and Dimension Restrictions
Many cemeteries and churchyards impose strict size limits for kerb sets to ensure they fit harmoniously within the surrounding environment.
The allowed dimensions can vary depending on the location, so it’s essential to confirm these details before finalizing your design.
Material Limitations
Certain materials may be restricted in some locations due to their durability, environmental impact, or aesthetic compatibility with the site.
For example, some churchyards may only permit natural stone, while others might have guidelines on finishes or colors.
Our team can advise you on selecting materials that comply with these regulations while still achieving your desired look.
Design and Ornamentation Guidelines
Regulations often extend to the design and decorative elements of kerb sets. Some sites may limit the use of intricate carvings, inscriptions, or additional features such as flower holders.
By understanding these rules early in the process, we can help you create a design that balances compliance with personalization.
Application and Approval Process
Installing a kerb set typically requires formal approval from the cemetery or churchyard authorities. This can involve submitting detailed plans, specifications, and sometimes even paying a fee.
