This place is a tip - they blame badger sets for the destruction of the graves etc but honestly it looks like no one looks after the place anyway!! Everything is overgrown, countless broken headstones and other memorial statues - they even "fixed" a roof to a crypt by putting plastic sheeting over the top and sealing the main door to the crypt with basic red house bricks... Can't even blame the pandemic for the groundskeepers poor work ethic and lack of maintenance within the cemetery.

Opened in 1883, Yardley cemetery covers around 64 acres. The Council developed one of its chapels and turned it into the crematorium, which opened in 1952. The cemetery and crematorium are easy to get to from the main drives. Yardley cemetery has no land for new full graves. Full interments, burials or scattering of cremated remains continue to take place in private family graves. Graves for cremated remains are still available to purchase for the burial of up to two sets of remains.

Unfortunately in the 15yrs I have lived in Birmingham I have had to visit this place twice now and on both occasions I found the services to be held with great dignity and reverence, I know that both of my friends that were taken from us would have been very impressed with the service and send off that they provided.

My Mother's ashes, together with my Aunt and Uncle are scattered on the North East Lawn. What a dreadful and upsetting shock I had on Christmas Eve. Badgers have scraped and dug up the lawn where the ashes are. Rest assured I shall be making a very firm complaint. Even the dead can't rest in peace.

Wanted to know if cemetery open tomorrow and Sunday for fathers day tried phoning numerous times with no reply email reply came back endeavour to answer within 10 days!! Poor service I know with covid 19 going around things are awkward but I've been working from home since March unbelievable

I visited the crematorium on 15-06-2020, I was very shocked how unkempt it looked in the rose garden and surrounding area's. The rose garden always looks beautiful this time of year but it looked terrible. Very upset, as if it's not upsetting enough being there.

The lawns surrounding the Chapel look so unkempt today with dead flowers, polythene, Christmas cards, toys, unofficial memorial vases, memorabilia and dead wreaths still in situ from Christmas. It's a disgrace and disrespectful.

We buried our mom's ashes today, even though we were early the 2 men were waiting to fill in the hole, and stood right behind us though the blessing and filled it in before we got to the end of the row disrespectful

Seems to be a lot of vandalism going on near lawn 2 flowers Shrewn all over the place things being moved cups not in their places something needs to be done

It is always kept nice and clean. A beautiful place to be with your departed loves ones.
