About Howe Bridge Cemetery
Howe Bridge Cemetery is set in preserved countryside on Lovers' Lane near Atherton, providing a quiet rural burial environment. It is one of two Wigan Council cemeteries with a dedicated Muslim burial section. The cemetery is situated close to the privately operated Howe Bridge Crematorium, though the two facilities are entirely independent — the cemetery is managed by Wigan Council while the crematorium is under separate private ownership and management. Sanctum 2000 and Sanctum Panorama columbarium memorials are available.
Grave leases are provided from 99 years, with extensions usually available from the cemetery.
Anyone can be buried at Howe Bridge Cemetery, but grave prices depend on residency. Lower resident rates typically apply to families living in Wigan, with higher fees for non-residents. Residency rules are complex so please check with your funeral arranger.
