Anfield Cemetery

Situated in north Liverpool near Everton and Liverpool football stadiums, the Grade II* listed cemetery is roughly 110 acres with a classic French design, by Edward Kemp. Opened in 1863, the cemetery has three chapels and entrances, designed by the Liverpool architects Lucy and Littler. A crematorium was added in 1896 on the southern part of the site, becoming one of the first of its kind in the country.
