Cemeteries

Allerdale Borough Council manages burial grounds located at Workington, Flimby, Silloth, Maryport, Dearham, Brigham and Cockermouth. The council deals with the administration and maintenance of the cemeteries. There are no cremation facilities within Allerdale. This service can be provided by neighbouring authorities, although the Council does accept, for the purpose of burial, cremated remains within its cemeteries. Some Town and Parish Councils also maintain and operate their own cemeteries. The church also manages and administers burials within its own churchyards.
