Previous Events

Launch Event - 16th April 2006

The launch event for the project was held on Easter Sunday at the Old Kingston Cemetery. The event was well attended with over 50 people coming to lend their support and learn about the project. A selection of photo's from the open day are shown below.

Derek Bean from Isle of Wight Council Bereavement Services was on hand to give a tour of the Cemetery and volunteers were on hand to answer any questions.

As a result of the event a good number of people attended the inaugural meeting of the Friends of East Cowes Cemetery to formally set up the organisation.


The Old Kingston Cemetery Project would like to thank the organisations that have supported the project.
Thank you
