BRITISH CEMETERIES IN SPAIN FOUNDATION<\/h1>\n

The British Cemeteries in Spain Foundation <\/strong>was established in 2017 with the purpose of supporting, maintaining and promoting, specifically although not exclusively, those British cemeteries in Spanish territory that are still owned by the British Crown.<\/p>\n

Through the sharing of resources, the formalization of management, the exchange of best practices and the promotion of fundraising initiatives, the committed Trust works together for the best interest of the cemeteries, creating awareness and interest in the cultural importance and in the historical relevance of the “British” cemeteries in the Spanish territory.<\/p>\n

The main objectives of the British Cemeteries in Spain Foundation are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • To guarantee the necessary legal and administrative infrastructure to support the legal and administrative needs of our cemeteries in Spain, specifically, although not exclusively, in the cemeteries located in Bilbao, Madrid and Valencia.<\/li>\n
  • To guarantee the necessary funds to support the maintenance and restoration work within our cemeteries.<\/li>\n
  • To promote greater knowledge of our cemeteries and greater local and international interest in the cultural and historical relevance of British cemeteries in Spanish territory, giving life to historical and cultural understanding between Spain, the United Kingdom and all other countries whose deceased citizens\u00a0 rest in our cemeteries in Spain.<\/li>\n
  • To respect British cemeteries as peaceful burial sites.<\/li>\n
  • The implementation, whenever possible, of alternative forms of disposal of human remains, respecting municipal, regional and national legislation at all times.<\/li>\n
  • The promotion of the recruitment of volunteers within local communities, both British and from other countries.<\/li>\n
  • The offer of attractive tax credits for benefactors and potential donors, thanks to the non-profit nature of the Foundation.<\/li>\n
  • The increase in the number of fundraising activities in order to increase income and \/ or cultural awareness of our cemeteries – cultural events (book presentations, concerts, etc.), guided tours, educational experiences, partnerships with associations local (Cultural Centers, Neighborhood Associations, Scout Groups, etc.).<\/li>\n
  • The exploration, and implementation whenever possible, of other methods of remembrance – gardens of remembrance, green burials, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
