About this cemetery
Weaste Cemetery in Salford opened in 1857 and is the oldest of the city's four cemeteries. Originally known as Salford Borough Cemetery, it covers about 39 acres and has seen over 332,000 interments. Salford was among the first British local authorities to recognise the overcrowding of churchyards and the need for other burial grounds, and the cemetery originally included four chapels. It is a Grade II listed Victorian cemetery.
