LAURENCETOWN CEMETERY

A skip has now been provided at the Den carpark for all waste products.
Please do not leave any waste (plastic wreaths etc) at the side of the church.
Do not use the dump at the top of the graveyard. The new skip should be much handier for everyone.

ENTRANCE TO LAURENCETOWN CEMETERY

 Due to health and safety concerns regarding the stone wall to the side of Laurencetown Cemetery (beside Broad Oaks), this entrance has been closed to all traffic. We apologise for any inconvenience. We are currently looking at all options regarding the repair or replacement of the wall.

 A huge thank you to all who have used the 'DONATE' button on the website. It's a simple way for you to make a contribution to the parish. However, as there is a nominal charge to the parish for each transaction, we would prefer if you did not use this method for your regular weekly/monthly contribution. If you find this method easier than using the 'envelope', why not sign up for a standing order. It saves you searching for the money on a Saturday evening or a Sunday morning and you can amend it at any time. An updated form is available if you click below.
