Residents who fail to maintain their loved ones’ memorial in an Argyll and Bute cemetery risk having it cordoned off a report has warned.
Members of the council’s environment, development and infrastructure committee have considered an updated policy for the maintenance and safety of cemeteries in the area.
A report to the committee states that around 45 per cent of information on lair holders – those permitted to bury loved ones in a plot – is thought to show people who are still alive.
