Require all cemeteries to have CCTV

Closed 20 signatures

What the petition asks

The Government should require all cemeteries to have CCTV installed so people can be held accountable if they choose to damage or steal from a cemetery.

The resting places of those who are no longer with us should be protected.
Last month I lost a close friend. It was their birthday shortly after the funeral and loved ones left birthday gifts and flowers only to find someone had been and stolen their birthday gifts from their freshly made resting place, leaving their family heart broken and not wanting to leave gifts for her in case they were stolen. There are no cameras to identify who has done it. No family should feel they or unable to leave gifts for at their loved one's resting place.
