The site incorporates a Chapel of Rest which is available for funeral services. The Cemetery also offers a memorial niche wall for the placing of cremated remains.
Colne Cemetery is located in a very tranquil area situated on a steep slope giving the cemetery fantastic south facing and near panoramic views over Trawden and the Lancashire countryside. We have carefully placed seating in the cemetery to ensure visitors are able to sit and contemplate and remember their loved ones. We have also ensured there are sufficient water supplies and waste baskets to help maintain the gravesides of your nearest and dearest.
