Sitting in at 31 acres, just off Beacon Avenue, Cleethorpes Cemetery opened in 1877 and is one of four cemeteries serving the Grimsby and Cleethorpes area.
It contains 77 First World War Burials and 80 Second World War burials in the cemetery grounds.
A War Cross is erected on an island site in the main drive.
The cemetery is bisected by a foot and cycle path, with more recent burials on a raised part of the cemetery and the majority of older, 19thcentury burials in the lower part, which contains a mortuary chapel. The chapel, with a traditional arch for hearses and two small rooms, is still in use today for services.
