Contractors maintaining a cemetery in a quiet Norfolk village have caused upset to several bereaved families after repeatedly causing damage to headstones and flowerpots.
The damaged happened in Cawston, based between Aylsham and Reepham, at the ground off Aylsham Road.
One local mum, who lives in the village but did not want to be named, said her relative's headstone had been damaged at the cemetery twice following maintenance work.
She added: "The man that is making our new headstone has said he's had to do so many repairs at Cawston cemetery due to the gardeners just not caring."

A second woman from the village said the flowerpots she had placed on her loved one's grave had also been smashed after the grass had been cut.
Cawston Parish Council is responsible for hiring contractors for maintaining the cemetery.
A statement from Cawston Parish Council said: “We contacted the contractors and asked them to take more care.”
They did not confirm who the contractors were.
