About Heywood Cemetery
Heywood Cemetery opened in 1856 and is situated on Rochdale Road East in the town of Heywood. It is historically notable as one of the older burial grounds in the borough. The original 1856 chapel was severely damaged in a fire in February 2021, gutting the interior while leaving the external walls standing. The Rochdale Borough Council website continues to reference a chapel for funeral services, but the current usability of the building should be confirmed directly with Bereavement Services before making any arrangements. Toilets and parking are available on site.
Anyone can be buried at Heywood Cemetery, but grave prices depend on residency. Lower resident rates typically apply to families living in Rochdale, with higher fees for non-residents. Residency rules are complex so please check with your funeral arranger.
