Chesterfield

Chesterfield is a town in Derbyshire, in the Midlands. It is also the name given to the surrounding borough. The borough population is around 100,000. It has had a market town charter since the year 1204 from King John, and many archaeological finds show its Roman and Anglo-Saxon heritage.

Although a smaller town, there are plenty of facilities and 14 registered funeral directors in Chesterfield. There are four cemeteries locally, and the Chesterfield and District Crematorium is provided for by the Borough Council.

There are many Christian churches in Chesterfield, one the most famous being St Mary and All Saints that is famous for having a twisted spire. Services for funerals are often held in these churches, however, churchyard burials are problematic in that many are now closed to new burials due to space. Funeral directors in Chesterfield will be able to offer further advice.

Unfortunately, there are fewer places of worship for other faiths. To access temple and mosque services, Sheffield may be the best and closest local area provider. However, there is a separate Muslim burial section available in Brimington Cemetery.
