Yardley Cemetery was opened in 1883 by Yardley Rural District Council, originally at 4ha in area, and taken over by Birmingham when it absorbed Yardley in 1911. It has since been extended several times to its present size of around 30ha.

Yardley Cemetery lodge was built in around 1880 in a Gothic style with polychromatic brick. It is Grade II Listed. The crematorium opened in 1952.

Yardley Cemetery has no land for new full graves as it reached capacity in 1962. Full interments, burial or scattering of cremated remains continue to take place in private family graves. A Cremated Remains section was opened in 2009 for the interment of Cremated Remains.

  • I'll say it is large. It took me about 4hrs to find three gravestones and I knew the gravenumbers. Trouble is the blocks of numbers do not seem to have any pattern to them.
