Southampton Old Cemetery, Victorian cemetery in Southampton Common, England
The 27-acre burial ground features Gothic chapels, stone monuments, and landscaped pathways across grounds that accommodate over 116,000 interments.
Parliament approved the cemetery's establishment in 1843, leading to its consecration by the Bishop of Winchester on May 7, 1846.
The cemetery includes separate sections for Church of England, Non-Conformist, Roman Catholic, and Hebrew communities, reflecting Southampton's diverse religious heritage.
The grounds maintain space for cremated remains and family plot burials, with the Friends of Southampton Old Cemetery group providing guided tours.
Sixty headstones commemorate Titanic crew members, though no bodies from the maritime disaster were returned to Southampton for burial.
