Doncaster council have from today decided to close all cemeteries , they are asking people to light a candle at home for loved ones.
All church weddings & baptisms are cancelled, but funerals are still allowed with a limited number.
Fire Brigade have warned against lighting unattended candles.
Seems strange closing the cemeteries, be it's a open space, where not a lot of people are in attendance, we go to our son's grave in Church of Englands Swinton graveyard at least twice a week, the most people we see is 6 people or less.
