SCOTFORTH MUNICIPAL CEMETERY
Managed by the Lancaster City Council Cemetery Services
Situated on Ashford Road, Scotforth; from Lancaster take the A6 South and at the 'Boot and Shoe' traffic lights
turn right, the large cemetery is less than a 1/4 mile along on your left hand side. OS Map ref: SD476 594
The Cemetery was opened in 1891 and is still in use today. The records here are from the burial registers
that are now held at the County Record Office at Bow Lane, Preston, they cover the period from 1891 to 1952.
6,000 burials have been recorded by branch members
As our policy is to be cautious with records of people who were living within the last 100 years certain details such as
ages and addresses have been omitted from this index.
Full details are available from the branch records or the Cemetery Office at Morecambe.
The sensitive details in addresses are that over 500 burials were of persons from the:
County Asylum, County Mental Hospital, Royal Albert Asylum Institution etc 
theses people came to the Lancaster institutions from all over the north of England
especially from South and East Lancashire, West Yorkshire and Westmorland
Also the details of 100 entries of still births have been omitted
Images and an index of the monumental inscriptions will follow shortly.

In order to keep the loading and search times on your computer to a minimum,
the 6,000 lines of data have been spread across three new pages.
This is a temporary solution until a more powerful database website comes on line next year
