While I was down the cemetary this morning, I felt sad for so many unkempt graves, but not knowing if it would offend people if I tidied them I decided not to, but perhaps if anybody on this site has moved away and would like their loved ones grave tidied let me know. It is Garden House Cemetary, Swalwell, Newcastle Upon Tyne. Just had another idea! why not swop cemetarys, let us try to fin others who are willing to tidy up a grave for somebody who livesd out of the District-i.e. me Hatfield Road, Cemetary, St. Albans, Herts. |

Hi Jennifer, is that the cemetery at the top of the hill inbetween Dunston and Swalwell? If so could you check how Alice Nott Lee/Graham is doing - dod 1960. I wish I could offer an exchange. Anyone with expats who died in Penfield, New York? Anne. |

I could do Boscombe East Cemetery in Bournemouth, Dorset. However, I would need the grave reference, as the cemetery is massive! Merry |

If anyone is willing to tend the unkempt war graves in their local cemetery, the CWGC would be pleased to hear from you. See their website for details. Jack |
