I just wonder though, they or their relatives paid for a monument or stone to be place as a memorial, at what time does that contract of respect for the dead and the cost for their trimmings become just so much paving stone?
Personally a quick whoomf up the chimney I'll be gone no problem, no grave for relatives to feel guilty about not tending, let them have the occasional thought about me in similar vain to which I consider the loved ones that went before me.
But, at which point do we remove and tarmac over the past only to say, "oops that was a bit previous of us wasn't it? Showed no real respect, still, we now have another area that no-one knows what to do with".

Thank you Less. And I don't see that leaving the stones round the edge of the area or using them for paving is any worse than leaving them in situ and letting them fall over. I also think that the proposed development is quite respectful, not tasteless and makes use of a bit of green space that otherwise is just a quick through route.
