The authorities said rangers have also stumbled on “shrines and urns placed in memorial of loved ones who have passed on”.
The post added: “We are sympathetic to your loss and understand that our park users would like to remember their loved ones in the park which they fondly used.
“However, SANParks considers it a contravention when an urn with cremated remains is buried outside of an existing grave or burial site in a national park, or without the knowledge of or mandatory permission from management.
“Should urns and shrines with ashes be found in national park, SANParks staff members will hand these over to the SA Police Service.
“The park does not allow for the burial or placement of urns in any area but we do allow for the scattering of ashes at a designated area in the park.”
