Holiday & Seasonal (114)The use of Artificial Flower has been banned from a crematorium on grounds of health and safety.
A council has prohibited the laying of artificial wreaths or flowers and also barred pottery, glass items and wire mesh fences.
The rules have outraged mourners who claim people should be allowed to grieve in their own way and point out many cannot afford to place fresh flowers on a plot every week.
Relatives of deceased loved ones are furious at North East Lincolnshire Council which last November threatened to remove keepsakes from children's graves.
The council says any items or mementos left at the crematorium in Grimsby, except fresh plants and flowers, will be confiscated as they clutter up the grounds and leave the place untidy.
One mourner who asked not to be named said: 'It is a stupid and insensitive idea. I can't get here every week to put fresh flowers in.
'I have had this memorial to my wife here for four years and quite frankly it is insensitive and disgusting.'
Another relative with a plot in the crematorium said: 'The council has not really though through what it means to people who go there to mourn.'
One family member said of the council notices: 'We find it very offensive and lacking in sensitivity. We like many other parents want to display mementos for our children and colourful flowers to show we remember and love them and will continue to do so.'
