About Northern Memorial Care

Hello, my name is Col, and I founded Northern Memorial Care with a simple purpose: to help families care for the places where their loved ones are laid to rest.

I have previously worked within the funeral industry, where I developed a deep understanding of the importance of treating people, their families and their loved ones with dignity, compassion and respect. That experience has stayed with me and is one of the reasons I created Northern Memorial Care. I understand how meaningful a loved one's final resting place can be, and how difficult it can feel when circumstances, distance, health or other commitments mean you're unable to visit as often as you would like.

Northern Memorial Care was created to provide a caring and reliable service for families who want to know that their loved one's grave or memorial is being looked after with the same care and respect they would give themselves.

As a Community Interest Company (CIC), Northern Memorial Care has a purpose that goes beyond providing memorial care services. We are committed to making a positive difference in our communities, including helping people who may be unable to afford or access the care their loved one's memorial deserves. Any surplus we generate is reinvested into supporting our community aims and developing the work we do.

For me, this isn't simply about cleaning a headstone or maintaining a grave. It's about helping families care for a place that holds memories, love and meaning, while making a positive difference to the communities around us.
