Flaybrick Memorial Gardens, Victorian cemetery in Birkenhead, England.
The memorial gardens span 26 acres of landscaped grounds with ornamental features, paths, and slopes integrated into the natural terrain of Birkenhead.
Edward Kemp designed this cemetery in 1864, incorporating separate sections for Church of England, Non-Conformist, and Catholic burials within the 16.5-acre initial space.
The gardens demonstrate Victorian attitudes toward death and remembrance through their collection of intricately carved monuments and stone mason artistry.
The gardens remain open throughout the year with free parking facilities, and visitors can access them via Birkenhead North train station or bus number 38.
The site contains approximately 80 different tree species, earning recognition as an arboretum after its closure to new burials in 1975.
