Your concerns mirror many of those of the Friends and this is why Friends of Brandwood Cemetery was formed. We undertake many projects within the Cemetery such as litter picks, creation of a Tree Walk, liaise on the upkeep of Brandwood Pool and maintain the Civilian Garden of Remembrance. We have also raised 1000s of pounds for projects such as the making safe of the Chapels, restoration of the gardens and refurbishment of the Lodge (finished last year and still not available to local groups). We continually lobby the owners Birmingham City Council for further improvements, such as the resurfacing of the drive. There are a few things you could do: <a href="http://fbec.org.uk/about/become-a-friend/" title="Become a Friend" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Join the Friends</a> so you will get our regular updates on progress; write to the <a href="http://fbec.org.uk/about-the-cemetery/want-to-contact-the-cemetery-owners/" title="Bereavements Dept" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Bereavements Department</a> with your concerns and/or come along to our <a href="http://fbec.org.uk/2013/02/24/friends-of-brandwood-end-cemetery-come-and-meet-us-at-our-agm/" title="2013 FBEC AGM" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">AGM </a>on 11th April at Brandwood Centre, starting at 7.30pm.

I am a member of Waterloo Residents Association Committee. Within Waterloo we have a community fund which is available for projects which benefits that community. I was wondering if there is anything in Jasmin fields that would meet that criteria? Funding would be subject to any project meeting the approval of the WRA Committee. Look forward to hearing from you. Regards Sheila. Hi, I live in a bungalow opposite Jasmin Fields. I am a member of Waterloo Residents Association Committee.

I am sorry to hear of your loss. Brandwood End Cemetery is full and has been closed for new plots for a number of years. Burials do take place in existing family plots and those that are reserved. You need to contact the Bereavements office of Birmimgham City Council (the owners) for an official status. http://fbec.org.uk/about-the-cemetery/want-to-contact-the-cemetery-owners/ http://www.birmingham.gov.uk/brandwood-end-cemetery Hope that helps.

CE stands for Church of England. It must be in Section 14 somewhere.. Have you had chance to have a look? The only other way is to ask Bereavements but I am not sure what level they go down to in terms of pinpointing the grave (ie. any further than the Section). I'll come and help you search if you let me know a weekend you will be there and I'm available. Paul. CE stands for Church of England. It must be in Section 14 somewhere..
