Burial Grounds, Cemeteries & Memorial Conservation
At Covanburn we are specialist contractors in burial ground conservation and particularly skilled in historic cemetery restoration. We believe that cemeteries play a vital role in our communities both as an important record of our past and as a place of comfort and remembrance in the present.
We believe that preserving the quality of headstones, memorials and landscapes in our cemeteries is a valuable and important public service. We often work with local authorities on repair and maintenance works but we also work very closely with local groups and organisations interested in the longer term conservation of these historic places and we have substantial experience of carrying out highly sensitive and technical restoration projects. You can have a look at some of that work on our Projects page.

The Importance of Burial Ground and Cemetery Conservation
Like all of those who devote time and care to the conservation of cemeteries and burial grounds, we understand that while these places are memorials to those who have died, they are also places filled with life. People visit these places to mourn, to indulge memories, to love. These places welcome the curiosity of visitors who wonder about all that came before them. They are active spaces used by local walkers and joggers. They are cared for sensitively and respectfully by people in the communities they serve.
We understand why cemeteries and burial grounds matter so much. We have developed niche skills in this area which allow us to work with local authorities, groups and organisations on an ongoing basis, to ensure their long term sustainability.
