Council defends decision to put stickers on graves

Glasgow City Council said the stickers were placed due it being “very challenging” to track down who had responsibility for some of the graves.

A spokesman said: “The safety of those working in and visiting our cemeteries is an absolute priority.

“Regular inspections of headstones is a statutory obligation for the council but the maintenance and upkeep of any memorial is a matter for the owner.

“However, as owners themselves pass on, identifying a person to take responsibility for headstone maintenance can become very challenging.

“Applying these notices to headstones is an effective way to reach out to families and they have helped us to make contact with people who have an interest in undertaking necessary repairs.”
