Thank you for your ongoing support. Last week, we had a productive meeting with Maureen, the Acting CEO of Remembrance Parks Central Victoria (RPCV). 

Maureen was very compassionate and attentive to our concerns—now is our opportunity to be heard by the right person. Can you email the Health Minister to tell them what you want?

We were very clear that we want the new blanket policy overturned in all cemeteries so loved ones can continue honouring the ones they’ve lost in ways that suit them. Please see a suggestion for what you can send as your email below.

Dear Mary,

I’m one of the 15,000 people who’ve signed this petition for grieving families to be allowed to personalise graves with sentimental items. Please overturn this unfair rule across all cemeteries, and consider the removal of the board.

(--If you have a loved one buried in one of these cemeteries, please feel free to share your personal story about how this impacted you. Please remember to be respectful and polite at all times.--)
