Bournemouth[edit | edit source]

There is one crematorium and four cemeteries operated by Bournemouth Borough Council.

Crematorium & North Cemetery, Strouden Avenue: Opened in 1927 although the cemetery chapel was modified to encompass a dual role as a crematorium in 1938. A second smaller Cemetery / Crematorium Chapel was added in 1963
East Cemetery, Gloucester Road: Sometimes referred to as Boscombe Cemetery because of its location – it is adjacent to Kings Park and the entrance is on Gloucester Road.
Kinson Cemetery, South Kinson Drive: The most recent Bournemouth Cemetery opened in 1936.
Wimborne Road Cemetery, Wimborne Road: The first cemetery to be opened in Bournemouth, in the year 1898. The entrance is at the junction of Wimborne Road and Charminster Road and aptly known as Cemetery Junction.
