Whitworth Cemetery was opened for burials in 1879.  The site caters for Catholic, Consecrated and Non Conformist burials.  It also has a refurbished chapel which is available for hire and can seat around 48 people. 

The dedicated garden of remembrance offers an alternative site for the burial of cremated remains in addition to the traditional grave.

There are public toilets within the cemetery and visitors also have access to a water tap at the top of the main drive.  You can download the layout of the Cemetery.
