Colchester cemetery plan by the southern entrance
The southern entrance serves the crematorium as well as the main body of the vast cemetery. Many unhelpful cemeteries don't publish a plan and the only way to find out which plot is which is to ask the groundsmen who of course don't work at weekends. Colchester's 67 acre cemetery is immaculately kept and has rightly won awards.
