Help nearly all of our conifers have died, they have just reached the height that we wanted about 6 feet and now they are all going brown. Any suggestions, have I truly lost them or is there anything we can still do maybe?

After the recent hard winter there may be some " burning" of the ends of the foliage, I would wait a while before doing anything drastic. Trimming them whilst there is a possibility of a frost is damaging.

could be red spider mite, this is a common cause.

Is there any sign of new growth?
generally if totally brown - not a good sign its died
if jst some brown then it could have been due to the extreme coldness of the winter
The RHS has some good info see here
Hi Jeannie,
Sorry to hear about your conifers. Could be conifer aphid. Here's some info:
