The National Federation of Cemetery Friends
The formation of a number of groups of volunteers with the common aim of conserving their local cemeteries led, in 1986, to the founding of The National Federation of Cemetery Friends.
Many of the Cemetery Friends started as pressure groups to counter owner's neglect of a cemetery or proposals for inappropriate use. Often those who were successful continued their interest by monitoring the owner's maintenance and restoration work and, if given the opportunity, helping in a practical way.
The Federation acts as a link for Cemetery Friends in the UK. Members exchange information through their own newsletters and an annual meeting. An annual newsletter is published, together with a booklet called Notes on Saving Cemeteries, which gives advice to potential Friends on setting up a group.
