Welcome to Friends of Crieff Cemetery
Friends of Crieff Cemetery are partnered with Perth & Kinross Council
for the upkeep of Crieff Cemetery.
Our partnership agreement comes under the Friends of Cemeteries initiative.
Our Mission Statement:
To create and foster a community group that is dedicated to helping
Perth & Kinross Council for the upkeep of Crieff Cemetery.
To encourage donations to the group over social
networking and direct contact with other community groups.
To be inclusive and welcoming to anyone who
wishes to volunteer skills or assets that can help us achieve
our goals.
To liaise with PKC regularly to create a feasible
and friendly working relationship.
To respect the gravesites regarding the deceased
therein and their living relatives.
The Friends of Cemeteries initiative was instigated on 8th March 2022,
after Environment and Infrastructure Convenor Angus Forbes visited
Sillerburn Cemetery, Kirkmichael,
Blairgowrie.
He said, “Cemeteries are not just final resting places, they are
also places of comfort, as well as Greenspaces which are important
to their communities and places of
historical interest.”
“The Council carries out routine maintenance of cemeteries, but the
Friends of Cemeteries scheme supports communities and volunteers
to work with the Bereavement Services team to carry out
improvement works and promote pride of place.”
“When people visit to remember loved ones, they want to do so
in the nicest possible surroundings and I’m sure all of our Friends
groups will help make our cemeteries more welcoming
and comforting places to visit.”
We aim to make this volunteer group as accessible as
possible to whoever wishes to join.
Our group activities and projects include:
Litterpicking, pruning, bench renovating, gravestone research,
painting, grass raking, fountain refurbishment project.
