Cemetery Workers carry out general ground maintenance, tending graves and memorial sites at cemeteries, graveyards and crematoria.
They work alongside other cemetery and funeral staff, including crematorium technicians, cemetery inspectors and superintendents, council officials, ministers, priests and vicars and general gardening staff. Jobs are with the local authority or with privately owned cemeteries.
Cemetery Workers measure and mark out grave spaces and use mechanical excavators and hand tools to dig graves. They also look after grounds, including lawns, grass and flowerbeds, trees and shrubs.
