How to Find Us
The entrance to the cemetery grounds is from Cemetery Road which can be accessed from Victoria Road, opposite Victoria Hospital. Please note there is no access for vehicles from the Stone Lane end of Cemetery Road, although some Satnav systems may direct you this way if using the postcode to find us.
Parking
Please park along Cemetery Road, but avoid parking in front of the Lodge or in the bay opposite the archway as this is used by hearses and longer based vehicles to access the cemetery under the archway.
There are several parking spaces located inside the cemetery near to the Children’s Section and Section 19.
