As for exposing the trunks, I suggest you go to the cemetary and ask to speak to the head gardener about their procedure for this. Be sure to use hand pruners, limb loppers and pruning saws rather than hedge shears to reduce their size.
Where possible, remove extremely long secondary branches at their point of origin on a main stem. Clean cuts on Yew branches.
