Researcher comments/remarks
The Lyttelton cemeteries all have headstone and land damage, just like many other cemeteries around Canterbury. In October 2013 the Christchurch City Council's advice was that burials would be considered on a case by case basis. The Sextons would have to consider the state of surrounding graves and access routes to the burial plot. Each internment needed to have a safety plan drawn up which could include limits on the number of mourners able to enter the cemetery.
