An overhead of Melksham Cemetery
RELATIVES of people buried in Melksham Cemetery have complained about headstones being laid flat.
Now Wiltshire Council has been asked to review its process for testing the safety of headstones in its cemeteries.
Melksham Town Council has requested families are informed first by letter or email, where possible, to avoid upset.
Some families discovered headstones in Melksham Cemetery had been laid down flat after they failed safety tests in May.
Relatives criticised the lack of warning, saying that no notice was given prior to the inspections taking place.
