The car park of the cemetery, in Hall Road, Rochford, was scattered with bags containing concrete posts and rubble.

Some of it was on top of play bark, intended for children's play areas.

Parks officer Geoff Dawson said: "This took place at a sensitive time and in a sensitive location. It is upsetting people can carry out an illegal act in a callous way."
