This large cemetery is situated off the Bardsea Road on the outskirts of Ulverston. It opened in 1878 with the first burial taking place on May 7th.There are sections designated as Church of England, non-Church of England and Roman Catholic.

 

There is also a section for the interment of cremated remains, and a Garden of Remembrance where commemorative plaques may be fixed if ashes have been scattered elswhere. The cemetery chapel is available for funeral services and will seat comfortably approximately 50 people. It incorporates a room containing a Book of Remembrance.

 

There is a car park with six spaces off Oakwood Road, but parking is available on the main cemetery drives. Please drive and park with consideration for other cemetery visitors.

 

The cemetery lodge is private property apart from the adjoining office and W.C. The cemetery is administered from Kendal where all the cemetery records are kept. This is a very large cemetery, and intending visitors are advised to check grave location details with the office before travelling to the cemetery. Our contractors, Continental Landscapes, have an office in the former chapel building on the right. They are not always present in the cemetery, but will be pleased to answer any queries, and will help if they can, although they may have to refer you to the Cemeteries Office in Kendal.
