Dearne Memorial Group

We are a small group of volunteers who, in 2002, decided to try and improve the standards in Thurnscoe Cemetery, with the objectives to preserve the memorials and historic assets of the cemetery.

Since the group was formed in October 2002, there have been various projects on the go all the time. The group has worked with Barnsley Bereavement Services Staff both in the field and in the office.
