Trail Leaflet

If one of our volunteer-led guided tours isn’t for you, isn’t running at a convenient time, or you want to explore the cemetery at your leisure, then our downloadable Trail Leaflet will allow you to do just that. You can also pick up a Trail Leaflet at the House of Life visitor centre.
The leaflet will enable you to steer yourself around the historic site, allowing you to take in all that it has to offer – from new gardens to recently conserved important monuments, whilst highlighting some of the most significant burials. It also provides a snapshot of the lives of 20 people buried here.
In addition, our new maps and signage in the grounds make it easier to find your way around our 21-acre site. And if you’re looking for a particular grave, our friendly volunteers based at the Visitor Centre can help you locate it.
If you find the leaflet useful and have enjoyed your visit, please recommend us to your friends.
And if you are able to give a donation, this allow us to keep doing what we do - sustaining the new House of Life visitor experience, and making the cemetery’s heritage and stories accessible to people from all backgrounds.
