A crowdfunding campaign has been set up to help fund the restoration of the Cathays cemetery chapels \u2013 forty years after they held their last funeral service.<\/p>\n

Cardiff City Council\u2019s Bereavement Services are asking for donations to help fund the necessary work to the chapels. They hope to restore the chapels into venues where funeral services, weddings and other special events can be held.<\/p>\n

The Friends of Cathays Cemetery, a charity which has campaigned for the restoration for nine years, has supported the council\u2019s efforts to refurbish the chapel.<\/p>\n

John Farnill, treasurer of the charity, said that, \u2018When we first got involved the chapels were derelict and almost falling down.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018These past couple of years have seen great progress in the restoration.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
