How We Can Help

We can offer free support and advice via telephone, e-mail and our resource materials – start here, with our Frequently Asked Questions.

We also offer bespoke services to groups. We can help you manage your burial ground in such a way that wildlife thrives and it looks beautiful for visitors. 

These include:

Virtual Visit

With a virtual visit an experienced member of staff will speak with you , visit your burial ground virtually and spend time on a zoom call giving you specific advice for your site.

It consists of:

  • An initial call to find out what burial ground management you are currently undertaking
  • Discussing the issues and options
  • Guidance on the type of footage we need you to capture for us to carry out the virtual visit (either via photographs or a series of video clips – phone or tablet quality is fine!)
  • We provide an online space for you to upload your footage
  • We review your footage and a call is scheduled
  • Zoom call takes place where we play the footage, have a discussion and give advice.

The Zoom call can be with just one person from your managing group or more.
