Anfield Cemetery

Anfield Cemetery is a Grade II* listed burial ground in Liverpool with multiple sections dedicated to different religious communities. The grounds include separate areas for Roman Catholic and Islamic burials, each clearly designated and well organized.

The cemetery opened in 1863 to meet the burial needs of Liverpool's growing population. Its establishment marked an important moment for managing burials across the expanding city during the Victorian era.

The cemetery reflects Liverpool's religious diversity through separate sections for different faith communities. Inscriptions on the gravestones show the beliefs and traditions that people who lived here held dear.

The cemetery is divided into numbered sections that make locating specific graves easier if you have the section number. It helps to ask staff or check the site map before wandering to find particular memorials more efficiently.

One section of the Roman Catholic area cannot be used for burials due to difficult ground conditions. This unused zone shows how natural limitations shaped the cemetery's layout even with careful planning.
