Hollybrook Cemetery, Grade II listed cemetery in Southampton, England
The cemetery spans across extensive grounds with 53,000 graves, featuring a chapel that accommodates 100 people and an entrance with angel statues.
Established in 1911, the cemetery opened its gates for the first burial in March 1913 and later became a significant burial site during World Wars.
The Hollybrook Memorial commemorates 1,900 Commonwealth service members, including Field Marshal Lord Kitchener and South African Native Labour Corps personnel.
The cemetery maintains sections for different faith groups, offering new burial plots, reopened graves, and a dedicated area for cremated remains.
A memorial bench near the chapel incorporates stones from buildings damaged during the Southampton Blitz, commemorating civilian casualties of World War II.
