My late father sadly passed nearly 10 years ago and we buried him at New Southgate cemetery. Even though the grave was expensive, we wanted somewhere where greek orthodox priests could go to bless the graves, so we chose there.... Very sadly, only recently, my late mother had passed and it cost us £2150 just to re-dig the grave with a machinery digger which couldn't had take long to dig. We are now told that we have to use their own stone mason to purchase our tombstone which is about 3 times more expensive than elsewhere.... It's been bad enough trying to grieve when losing a loved one but being ripped off by the cemetery for these  extortionate cost just isn't right...The private cemeteries need to be regulated by the government just as energy companies or mobile  phone companies are. Apparently the legislation is around 200 years old and need updating... Please sign and share this petition and to stop private cemeteries exploiting the vulnerable.
