About Heaton Cemetery
Heaton Cemetery is Bolton's largest and busiest active cemetery, opened in 1879 on Gilnow Road. It sits adjacent to Overdale Crematorium, Bolton's main crematorium facility, making it the natural choice for families requiring both a burial and cremation service. The cemetery is notable for its exceptional religious and cultural diversity, with dedicated burial sections for Muslim, Hindu, Ukrainian, Polish, Latvian, and Russian communities alongside traditional Christian sections. It contains 216 Commonwealth war graves.
Grave leases are provided from 99 years, with extensions usually available from the cemetery.
Anyone can be buried at Heaton Cemetery, but grave prices depend on residency. Lower resident rates typically apply to families living in Bolton, with higher fees for non-residents. Residency rules are complex so please check with your funeral arranger.
