AIBU to agree with the council on this one? It’s been all over Facebook and some of the comments and threats made against council staff who are only trying to do their job are awful. The woman has my deepest condolences, but surely she read the rules of the cemetery? I’ve really started to get annoyed with this “I’m special and the rules don’t apply to me” sort of person.

I was in the public gallery at the council meeting and she shouted over the councillors trying to express their views; and was quite aggressive, so it’s no wonder to me that they voted against her. I know several people who agree with the decision, but are afraid to speak out because of the aggression, one of them lost a child to cot death and has pointed out that the sight of a cot near her dc’s grave is quite distressing... and now they’re staging a sit in at the cemetery to prevent the removal?

AIBU to think it’s all become a bit of a farce and the council should just get in there and remove it; with police protection if that’s what is needed?

The council are right to enforce the rule. The cot makes it impossible to cut the grass properly on that row.
The cemetery my granny is buried in has the same rule.
I do feel for the family though. It's very sad for them.

I can't really see an issue with the cot, but everyone who has a plot at the cemetery is bereaved, and so yes rules need to apply to everyone/

I'm a bereaved parent and whilst I see their point of view and feel hugely sorry for them, they still need to bide by the rules. There are lots of things they could do to remember her whilst keeping to the regulations.

It is also difficult with out knowing them if it was handled really badly so yes I agree with the council but perhaps they could review how they communicate with the famillies- For example if the letter just dropped through the door it might be more upsetting than a gentle phone call...
