formation and details check out cemetery
links)
The Cemetery opening hours are until 9 p.m. or sunset
(whichever is earlier), however, they are not locked and access is,
in practice, possible at any time. This freedom places an
obligation on visitors to show consideration and respect for the
cemetery and other visitors. When visiting, please keep dogs on a
lead and under close control.
No records of burials are kept at the individual cemeteries,
apart from plans at the contractors rooms in Ulverston and
Kendal. Staff are not always present and you are advised to contact
the Cemeteries Office if you intend visiting and are
unsure of the grave location.
Vehicles can be driven into Kendal (Parkside) and
Ulverston Cemeteries, but please use the car parks if possible. You
are requested to drive with utmost care and consideration for other
visitors,and to keep off the grassed areas. Maximum speed must be
less than 10mph. The Superintendent may restrict vehicle access if
a funeral is iminent.
The Council aims to keep its cemeteries maintained to a good
standard. Please contact the Cemeteries Office if you are given any
cause for concern with any aspect of a cemetery.
