Owners of a cemetery in the UK have been blasted for offering paid VIP passes to relatives of those buried on the grounds.

“Entrance to the cemetery will be via a VIP pass making the site secure for our staff, families and visitors. Please ensure you have your pass in good time for the New Year.” “Please note, there will be no access at the weekend, on bank holidays, or any other dates when the office is closed,” the notice states. “Thank you for your co-operation.”“Now I need to pay a membership fee to visit my dad’s grave,” Jode Bourne, whose father Mark Bourne is buried in the grounds, wrote on Facebook. “This is an absolute disgrace. Shame on you Garden of Remembrance.”Starting January 1, the cemetery will only be open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
