Petition Action

Change the law regarding how grave ownership is accquired.

Petition Details

We are unable to add a headstone to my grandfather's grave as we, under law, are not the grave owners. My grandmother, gave money in order to purchase a grave plot which my aunt went to purchase on her behalf.

Additional Information

My aunt is now the registered grave owner. This is only because she physically paid for said grave with money provided to her by my grandmother. Therefore, my grandad's next of kin will never be his grave owner nor have any say with what is to happen to his grave in the future.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. You could start a new petition explaining clearly how you would like the law on grave ownership to be changed. For example, you could ask for specific rights to be given in law to the next of kin.
