Allerton Cemetery
Woolton Road
Liverpool
L19 5NF
Allerton Cemetery has a natural woodland burial area with mature trees and a variety of natural plants and grasses. Graves are excavated to accommodate one full earth burial, so as not to damage tree roots. An adjacent grave may be purchased in reserve where family members wish to be buried together. Burials in this area can only take place in biodegradable coffins.
The grave is marked with an inscribed marker with an inscription being chosen by family members. This is as opposed to traditional headstones, which are not permitted in the woodland area. The principle behind the natural burial option is to provide an environmentally friendly alternative. It is not intended to re-use the graves in future. Families can therefore be assured that at no point will the remains be disturbed.
This cemetery is Grade II listed.
