We manage and maintain three active cemeteries within the borough. Each cemetery provides an attractive and dignified resting-place for lost loved ones. We also maintain closed churchyards on behalf of the church following the last interment.
Please note that the cemetery gates will be shut approx 1 hour before dusk.
The three active cemeteries are:
Longmoor Cemetery
The newest of our cemeteries was opened in 1998 following the closure of Long Eaton Cemetery to new burials.
The site was developed in partnership with Breaston Parish Council who own and run the adjacent parish cemetery. Both cemeteries share the small chapel on the Breaston side.
Park Cemetery Park Drive
The first burial took place here in the 1892 and continues to provide the residents of Ilkeston as the main public cemetery to day.
The cemetery's chapel is a grade II listed building, built in 1910.
The cemetery is attractively set in an undulating landscape offering a rich haven for wildlife. Many of the mature trees have bird boxes attached to them.
Long Eaton Cemetery
Long Eaton Cemetery accepted its first burial in 1884 and was finally closed to new burials in 1998. There is still room for ashes interments and burials in existing graves.
It has a grade II listed chapel building.
