Bishop Auckland Cemetery


This page has information about Bishop Auckland Cemetery.

Dating back to 1884 Bishop Auckland Town Cemetery, near the town's Salisbury Place and Woodlands Road, is a 7.3 hectare burial ground containing a cemetery lodge and chapel.

Recently the cemetery has suffered from vandalism and we have worked with the community, councillors and Durham Police in an effort to prevent such anti-social behaviour.

Do you have information about these crimes? Contact Durham Police on 101.

Location

South Church Road
Bishop Auckland
County Durham

Our cemeteries are open dawn to dusk for pedestrian access.

Improvement works and security

Since the beginning of 2017 alone a range of work has been carried out at the cemetery to try and repair or improve the site.

This includes new chain-link, post and rail, and wrought iron fencing; road resurfacing; new security chains; removal of large bushes; and several repairs to the cemetery's water taps.
