Hi,
Our son passed away nearly 3 years ago, at only 3 days old.
We are just becoming able to deal with getting his headstone engraved.
I have spoke to the vicar with what we would like put on there but he has had to forward it to the local Diocesan. They have asked us to change some of the wording which isnt too much of a problem but they have denied us of any art engraving. We asked to have 2 teddy bears either side of the engraving, but new laws state this is not allowed.
It seems a little harsh as all we want is something to symbolise a child, its not offencive or distasteful to anybody.
Has anybody else had these issues and managed to get around them, or is this a hard rule and thats that?
Thanks
