Manchester Graveyards.
One of the greatest problems in any large city is to locate the burial place of one's ancestors. At any given time there might have been a single burial place in the parish churchyard, later burial grounds surrounding chapels of ease and then, as nonconformity became more accepted, burial grounds associated with denominational chapels. In the late 18th/early 19th century there was the beginning of the private cemetery business and following the Burial Acts of the 1850s, city burial grounds were closed and municipal cemeteries established on the city outskirts. Finally, in 1892, Manchester Crematorium opened and cremation became increasingly popular throughout the 20th century.
