Help protect Sheffield’s heritage, nature and stories…

Our new monthly giving scheme offers a simple, affordable way to support the ongoing care of the Cemetery – from conserving monuments and maintaining green spaces to sharing the stories of those who rest here.

A donation, not a membership
Guardianship is a monthly donation to Sheffield General Cemetery Trust. Any benefits are small tokens of thanks and do not represent payment for goods or services. This means your donation may be eligible for Gift Aid, increasing its value at no extra cost to you.
If you would prefer to make a one-off donation, you can do so here.
