About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

The development of the cemetery was considered to be a significant stage in the overall development of the Borough of Wednesbury and the work which transformed the land was carried out under deplorable conditions. The unemployed were set to work levelling the ground during one of the worst winters on record.

The cemetery was formally opened and consecrated on September 22nd 1936 by the Bishop of Stafford, the Rvd D. H. Crick, who was previously the Vicar of Wednesbury. The gates were opened using a key specially presented to the Bishop.

The Mayor, Alderman B. W. Griffiths, gave a speech explaining how the land was transformed to accommodate 14,750 graves. The cemetery was still in active use as of April 2015.
