The Friends of Darwen Cemetery (FODC) was set up in 2010 as a voluntary and charitable body to work for the benefit of the town of Darwen.

FODC aims to work with the Borough Council and local agencies to improve the condition of Darwen Cemetery.

The Friends aim to:

• Provide a forum for Darwen Cemetery visitors to participate in discussions and activities.
• Preserve and improve Darwen Cemetery.
• Promote the historical, environmental and cultural significance.
• Investigate the biodiversity potential for cemeteries.
• Communicate its work to elected members, other agencies and groups and members of the community.
• Encourage community participation in its work, especially by the youth of the town.

Using our comprehensive knowledge of the Cemetery we help visitors locate family graves and take photos of graves through Find a Grave for people unable to visit in person.
