Restoration, conservation and respectful enjoyment of Brandwood End Cemetery and Chapels
We are a charity here to promote for the benefit of the local community and others, the restoration, conservation and respectful enjoyment of Brandwood End Cemetery and Chapels. That includes the monuments, buildings, records, green spaces, adjacent pool and allotments and overall environment.
Events
From litter picks and planting trees, to helping hedgehogs and recording memorials, our events are always fun, friendly and suitable for most ages! We also have a number of measured walks you can follow in various areas of the cemetery.
Become a Friend!
