City Road Cemetery

Dogs being allowed in. No leads, running all over people's graves,damaging pots ect, chasing squirrels, leaving mess behind. There was no dog notices on the main gate signs which have now been taped over so I assume this means that dogs have been allowed to take over another area. FED UP WITH THIS MENTALLY THAT DOGS HAVE SOME KIND OF RIGHTS! THEIR PETS! If any damage caused to my family's plots because of this I will be expecting Sheffield city Council to pay for it.

The last time I was in city road crematorium was way back in the 70's when my grandad passed away I found the place rather dull but as a school boy what places looked it didn't matter but the place in the crematorium where the service is held and the coffin is sent on it's way, I realised that I never got the chance to say bye to my grandad when he was in the chapel of rest and his coffin was opened. I literally broke down in tears knowing that I will never see him again. The next time I was at city road was in the 80's when a work colleague had passed away, he was buried near the main entrance I have to agree that the grounds are in immaculate condition and are well looked after, there is a fellow in city road cemetery who invented the crossword he was buried 5 across and 4 down. The rest of my family my Grandma and my father they went to Hutcliffe Wood crematorium but I never went to my father's funeral as my dad's evil girlfriend told me he had passed away 4 months previous when in fact he was still alive.

Very upset regarding the state of the area of my sons grave. Graves with trees growing out of the. . Damaged headstones overgrown graves and graves buried under the overgrowth. But the most distressing of all was of damaged sunken graves that you can actually look down into the grave . Very disrespectful that the dead should be treated this way and the area has been left in such a state while the rest of the cemetary gets tended to. This Cemetary is i'm told the responsibiluty of Sheffield council and is listed grade 2.

Beautiful meditative space but could use some clarity about dogs and car speed limits. Is it no dogs as per the sign or are dogs allowed? Cars speed round as there is no clear signage and drivers are expected to use common sense. Graves being dug at 9am was a bit of a shock.

Cremated aunty and scattered her ashes without family knowing. Was supposed to scatter ashes after 3 months but was well before that time. If they'd have waited the 3 months her family could have given her a send off. Family lost touch when she was forcibly evicted from her flat and put into a hostel
