For many, a funeral provides a focal point during the first days of grieving the loss of a loved one. As times passes, having somewhere to visit and remember loved ones can be an important consideration too.
Making the right choices can be a daunting task at what is already a difficult time. At Sefton Council we have various options available for the funeral service and final resting place.
New graves can be accommodated at Thornton Garden of Rest, Bootle Cemetery, Duke Street Cemetery (Southport) and Liverpool Road Cemetery (Birkdale).
Graves purchased for full burials can be specified for up to 3 interments (subject to ground conditions) with further space to accommodate the burial of up to 8 sets of cremated remains.
Smaller graves can be purchased for the burial of cremated remains only. These are available at Thornton Garden of Rest and Liverpool Road Cemeteries and accommodate up to 6 sets of cremated remains.
