Wrought Iron Fence for Use Around a Cemetery or Family Plot

Whether it is for aesthetics or security, a wrought iron fence is perfect for use around a cemetery or family plot.  Few types and styles of fences evoke the proper feel and look for a final resting place.  We get lots of requests for our iron fence to be used around a cemetery or family plot.

Sometimes the fence is being used around a new cemetery.  Other times our iron fence is used to replace or expand upon much older 150-200 year old iron fence already in place.  Our Stronghold Iron fence is especially used or spec’d for around historic cemeteries.  A lot of times, the newer styles of fence don’t quite give the right feel and look around a cemetery or family plot.

Iron fence is excellent as a security fence around cemeteries as its strong and resilient to bending.  Cemeteries don’t always have caretakers on duty, so having a strong fence that can handle the general public being unsupervised around it is generally a good idea.  If security is of the utmost concern, you can weld the panels directly to the posts or utilize a specialized security screw to make them tamper-proof.

One trend we’ve seen in the last few year is use of our iron fence around smaller family cemetery plots on private property.  This may be a smaller 16ft x 16ft or 40ft x 40ft cemetery that the iron fence is used to surround.  It gives a reverent and sophisticated look for a family final resting place and requires little maintenance while lasting for decades.

If you have any questions about using our iron fence around a cemetery or family burial plot, feel free to give us a call or shoot us an email.  We can also help provide specs, samples and photos of the iron fence as well if you are working with a historic or preservation society for approval.
