Two sisters have turned their grief into a positive action by improving the cemeteries in their local area in memory of their parents. Janet Williams and Emma Little lost their father 13 years ago and their mother earlier this year. While visiting their parents grave at the cemetery, they noticed how neglected the surrounding plots were.
Struck by the thought that families, under many different circumstances, may not be able to attend to the plots, they decided to start a grave tending business in Merthyr Tydfil. In March 2022, they started seeking permission from their local authority and after months of hard work, Evergreen Services - named after their maiden name Green - launched in May 2022.
“We started this because we lost our Mam in January and we were back and forth to the cemetery and thought why can't we do this for other people in memory of our parents,” said Janet.
