Bury Cemetery was opened in 1869 and is owned by Bury Council. 


It is located at the bottom of Market Street on Gigg Lane, though there is also a southern entrance on St Peter's Road. 


There were once 3 chapels, for various Christian denominations; however, only one remains. 


There are Islamic and Jewish burial sections, together with a dedicated Roman Catholic section. 


There are 87 First World War and 56 Second World War burials or commemorations in this site. After the First World War a Cross of Sacrifice was erected facing the southern entrance. 


Wesleyan Methodist Cemetery at Cheetham Hill


Opened in October 1815 and closed for any further burials in July 1968. In 2003, developers exhumed the remains of 20,000 bodies at Wesleyan Methodist Cemetery at Cheetham Hill , which were then re-interred in a mass grave at Bury.
