INSTRUCTIONS FOR BURIAL

• Choose an available space and return the plaque to the storage tube.
• Winter graves are only for use when the ground is frozen, as they are protected by polystyrene sheets. At other times, only summer graves are used.
• Remove all the insulating sand and the Styrofoam sheets from the conservatories. Burial should be deep enough to prevent foxes and other animals from digging up the buried animals.
• Put intact insulation boards next to tools and broken pieces in the rubbish bin.
• Return the tools to their designated place.
