Hollybrook Cemetery

Hollybrook Cemetery is located in Tremona Road, Shirley, Southampton SO16 6HW

The first burial to take place in Hollybrook Cemetery was on 5 March 1913 and the cemetery can accommodate both new and re-opened graves in traditional areas.

There is a section available for the interment of cremated remains and there are plans to develop new sections for burials including a formal lawned area and areas of larger, contemporary graves.

The cemetery has a Chapel situated within the grounds which, on payment of an additional fee, can be used for holding a service prior to a burial taking place. The etched glass reredos screen in the Chapel was installed by E R Wright & Son, a local glass merchant, in the 1950’s.

The memorial seat located behind the chapel was constructed by David Banks of Lymington and commemorates the civilian dead of World War 2. The seat is constructed from stones recovered from bomb damaged buildings within the City of Southampton.
