Sponsored and dedicated species

To help support the work of the Friends of Heene Cemetery, we have two species sponsorship schemes. Your participation in either scheme will contribute to the ongoing work of the Friends in maintaining Heene Cemetery as the very special place it is.

If you wish to sponsor or dedicate a species, please use our sponsorship and dedication request form.
