West Lancashire Cemetery and Crematorium

West Lancashire Cemetery and Crematorium

Located in the Lancashire countryside on the outskirts of Burscough, West Lancashire Cemetery and Crematorium stands as a serene and natural setting for families in West Lancashire to commemorate their loved ones with dignity. Spanning over 40 acres, this newly established facility ensures ample space and time for bereaved families to organise personalised funerals in a tranquil environment.

Serving communities from Southport to Maghull, Appley Bridge, Skelmersdale, and Orrell, the cemetery and crematorium accommodate the diverse needs of the bereaved. The chapel, designed to harmonise with its surroundings, seats up to 80 guests, providing a peaceful place for funeral services. The facility, expected to host 3 to 4 funerals daily, allows 45 minutes between each service, fostering an unhurried and dignified atmosphere.

West Lancashire Cemetery & Crematorium offers various memorialisation options, from traditional burials to lawn sections and a dedicated area for the Roman Catholic Faith. The floral tribute area, set apart from the chapel, provides a serene space for gathering with views of the Lancashire countryside.

Understanding the significance of diverse beliefs and faiths, the chapel is designed to cater to people of all backgrounds. A modern digital music system, webcasting services, and the option for DVD or audio recording contribute to personalising funeral services.

The facility also offers options for interment, above-ground memorials, and scattering of ashes in dedicated areas, extending a range of choices to families during a challenging time.

Please remember: you need to book an appointment at the West Lancashire Crematorium in order to discuss your plans. We’d be happy to help you do this, so feel free to get in touch with one of our personal advisers.
