Grandparents grave Billingham
« on: Saturday 13 July 24 11:35 BST (UK) »
Both my grandfather/mother are buried in Billingham in a granite grave with same chippings.
What I am am wanting for someone to visit the grave and report back giving me some idea of the grave condition.
I first visited the grave @5years ago to survey the scene, as a result I returned a couple of weeks later with 5bags of granite chippings and weed barrier.
This time prior to visiting I hope that someone living nearby can give me an idea of the grave condition prior to making the 150mile return journey just to see if anything requires attention!

When I was a lad Billingham was in County Durham.

Hi Brian,

Billingham not far from where I live now so email me details of the Cemetery and grave and I'll have a drive down and photo the grave and give you a report.

Cheers,
