About this cemetery
The British Cemetery of Funchal is the burial ground of the English community living on Madeira, set behind high walls on Rua da Carreira. Because non-Catholics were once buried at sea, British interests secured a burial ground close to the old city walls of Funchal from 1772 onward.
