Activities

'It carries out activities or services itself'

'the advancement of health','the advancement of the arts, heritage, culture or science'

Dean Cemetery is managed as a charitable trust, dedicated to the preservation and maintenance of this historic space for future generations. As a registered charity we maintain reserves which are held for the future heritage, maintenance and running costs in perpetuity so that once all the plots are sold that we can ensure access for all and protect its legacy.

Beneficiaries: 'No specific group, or for the benefit of the community'

Objectives: The objects of the Trust are the advancement of health, and the advancement of arts, heritage, culture and science. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Trust will: (a) promote the conservation of the Dean Cemetery in Edinburgh and its monuments and buildings insofar as practicable, its flora and fauna, and the beauty of their setting, for the benefit of the local and national interest. (b) cause the cemetery or such parts as may be available to be operated as a public burial ground. (c) secure the repair, restoration and preservation of the cemetery, its monuments and buildings and other artefacts, and their setting, for public benefit, and (d) promote such similar charitable purposes, objects or institutions in such proportions and manner as the Directors shall think fit. The expressions ‘charitable purpose’ or ‘charitable object’ shall mean a charitable purpose under section 7 of the 2005 Act which is also regarded as a charitable purpose in relation to the application of the Taxes Acts and a ‘charitable institution’ shall mean a charity in terms of the 2005 Act which is also regarded as a charity in relation to the application of the Taxes Acts, or a charity under the law of any other jurisdiction which is also regarded as a charity in relation to the application of the Taxes Acts, provided that nothing in these Articles shall authorise an application of the property of the Company other than in furtherance of a charitable purpose.
