St Helens Cemetery

Established in 1858, St Helens Cemetery is a historic 20-acre site and place of remembrance for generations of local families. Its distinctive heart-shaped design, created by Thomas Denville Barry and landscaped by Edward Kemp, helped secure its Grade II listed status. The cemetery offers a range of burial and cremation memorial options, including a Memorial Garden and Children's Section, and features a self-guided heritage trail celebrating the lives of notable local people. Recognised for its high standards of care, it received a Gold Award in the 2025/26 National Cemetery of the Year Awards and holds Gold status in the ICCM Charter for the Bereaved.
