After decades in the dark, 400 gravestones are about to be placed back where they belong.
Join Friends of Coburg Cemetery as we work with the General Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust to start the process of returning the monuments and gravestones that have been left in a shed since controversial removals in the 80s.
After locating and marking the sites, we will celebrate the beginning of this momentous project with lunch in the rotunda.
- Sunday 5 May 2019
- 10am - 1.30 (lunch provided from 12.30)
- RSVP to focc.group@gmail.com
- Coburg Cemetery, Bell Street, Preston (meet in the rotunda)
And, if you want more, the Headstone Impressions session (learning how to take rubbings of stone carvings) starts at 2pm. See info here.
Hope to see you there!
