Friends of Hawkhead Cemetery

Nestled in the heart of Paisley, Hawkhead Cemetery is not just a final resting place but a historic landmark that tells the stories of those who shaped our community. From its establishment in 1891, Hawkhead has become home to a diverse range of individuals, including some of Paisley's most prominent figures.

We, the Friends of Hawkhead Cemetery, are a group of dedicated volunteers committed to the conservation and heritage preservation of this important site. Our mission is to protect the cemetery’s historical integrity, restore its monuments, and ensure it remains a peaceful and respectful place for future generations to visit.
