Churchyards

Churchyards are places of worship, remembrance and community heritage. As consecrated land, they are subject to the Faculty Jurisdiction of the Church of England, and many matters require careful legal oversight.

Our team provides specialist advice ensuring that consecrated ground is cared for respectfully and in accordance with the law.

We recognise that churchyard matters often arise at difficult and emotional times. Our approach combines specialist ecclesiastical legal expertise with a clear understanding of the pastoral context.

We support:

• Local authorities
• Clergy and parishes
• Families and individuals
• Funeral directors and memorial masons
