Find a GraveCarleton Crematorium and Cemetery

Carleton Crematorium, together with the adjacent necropolis, Carleton Cemetery, is a graveyard located within the Greenlands ward of Blackpool,[1] with its main entrance on Stocks Road in Carleton, Lancashire, England. It was opened on 18 July 1935.[2]

The building was created by Blackpool Borough architect J. C. Robinson, who based his design on his own interpretation of the Mausoleum of Mausolus.[citation needed] At the north door is a chapel containing Books of Remembrance, which note the names of all those cremated or interred there.[citation needed]

The site is located partly in Blackpool and partly in Carleton; the crematorium comes under the jurisdiction of Blackpool Council.[3]
