The Old and New Cemeteries
Helmsley's Old and New Cemeteries are next to each other and both are owned by Helmsley Town Council.
They are maintained by an active and keen group of volunteers, the council's caretaker, and a contractor who cuts some of the grass in the new cemetery. Tree surgeons and memorial masons look after the trees and the safety of the memorials.
The cemeteries are open from dawn to dusk. Dogs are allowed but please keep them on a lead and clear up after them.
