They dont have alot of $ put into them and they were not put on flat ground, most of the trees are self sown in the area, but quite a few (4670) were planted as people on the opposite hill objected to overlooking the cemetery. If it was a flatish expanse of grass it would be alot cheaper to look after, but then its treated a bit like a park by locals, its quite beautiful and well wooded.
This stump had grown between the rows, and we were told not to go to deep. In the depression some graves were not brought outright but people paid them off over time. Now those whose family stopped paying were dug out of there full plots and there much reduced remains were put in the area where we were taking out the stump in the pic and not put down to deep either!
The area that is well looked after is for our war dead
