A GRAVE decision has been made to stop providing burial sites for more than two coffins.
Residents could buy space dug nine feet deep to hold three coffins but Dartford Council decided to stop providing for three coffins per site following guidelines from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
The HSE is concerned about the amount of handling required. Existing arrangements for sites with three coffins will be upheld but the council will only provide for sites deep enough for two from now on.
