Allow the use of pink or blue colour writing on headstones
Our local council will not allow us to have pink writing on our baby girls headstone even though in a different part of the cemetery they have allowed pink and blue in the past. I feel its unfair to have a old rule for one part of a cemetery and a new rule for another part.
A spokesperson for Norwich City Council said: “We appreciate how important it is for families to have a fitting and personal memorial for their loved ones.
“To make sure the cemetery remains a tranquil place for all visitors, we ask that a neutral colour palette of white, black, gold or silver is used when engraving headstones.”
