Cemeteries

We manage three 'active' cemeteries in Belfast where burials still take place. They are:

• Belfast City Cemetery
• Dundonald Cemetery
• Roselawn Cemetery

Our staff also maintain five historical cemeteries. They are:

• Balmoral Cemetery
• Clifton Street Graveyard
• Friar's Bush Graveyard
• Knock Burial Ground
• Shankill Graveyard

We also operate the City of Belfast Crematorium

Roselawn is currently the only cemetery with new burial plots available.

As part of our memorial safety programme, we will be inspecting headstones and memorials in Belfast City Cemetery from April 2009 to April 2010 to check they are secure.

History of our cemeteries

Each of our cemeteries has its own distinct character and history and all provide a fascinating insight into the development of Belfast.
