There are six funeral directors in Darlington, all of which can be found within a five-mile radius of the centre of town. The borough council runs three cemeteries in the town itself, called the North, East and West cemeteries. Of these, the West is the largest, which contains an area set aside for the Jewish faith. North Cemetery caters for Muslims as well as other religions.
The Darlington crematorium is the fifth ever to open in England, established in 1901. It is to be found within the grounds of the West Cemetery and provides two gardens of remembrance and a chapel which caters for religious and Humanist or non-denominational services.
Local funeral directors in Darlington will be able to advise on the availability of cemeteries, churches and other services for your loved one’s farewell. There are a selection of places of worship, including a Sikh gurdwara, Buddhist centre and mosque as well as many historic Christian churches.
