Search local burial records
It can sometimes be hard to know where to start if you’re trying to find a grave. We’ll try and help as much as possible, though there is a small fee for some services.
Records we hold
We hold burial records for the cemeteries and crematoriums we manage. Our records date back to when each opened:
- Warrington Cemetery, Manchester Road - from 26 March 1857
- Fox Covert Cemetery, Red Lane, Appleton - from 6 October 1961
- Hollinfare Cemetery, Dam Lane, Rixton - from 13 December 1894
- Burtonwood Cemetery, Chapel Lane, Burtonwood - from 11 October 1900
- Walton Lea Crematorium, Chester Road, Higher Walton - from 20 April 1964
Finding the date of death
For deaths before 1996, we won't be able to tell you the person's date of death, only the date they were buried. Death records are held separately, so you'll need to find and order a copy of the death certificate from Warrington Register Office if you want to find out when the person died.
