List of Liverpool Cemeteries

Some of the churches, churchyards and headstones are long since gone. so I have compiled a list of all Municipal Cemeteries, Churchyards and Burial Grounds within the Liverpool area where burials have taken place. So if you are unsuccessful in locating the burial of an individual in Toxteth Park Cemetery, try an alternative churchyard or cemetery as they may be interred there.
