The cemetery off Stamford Avenue was built as an extension to Melbourn Road Cemetery and lies on the opposite side of the road with a disused chapel on the site. The older part of the cemetery containing the chapel is the responsibility of St John's Church for interments and the church holds the records.
The cemetery contains full burial and cremated remains sections. Both the cremated remains and full burial sections in Stamford Avenue Cemetery are now full, however interments into pre-purchased graves and re-openings will still be carried out.
