Penn Cemetery, Spring Hill, Wolverhampton
This very well maintained cemetery is a council operated facility. Housing in Penn Road (A449) is in the distance.
This information is given on their website:
"Penn Cemetery was opened in 1993 as a community cemetery, providing approximately 6.5 acres of lawn style graves. The memorial regulations allow for greater freedom of choice for the bereaved, in the size, height and style of the memorials permitted. There are no new full burial graves available at this cemetery however, spare capacity is available for cremated remains and babies graves."
Interestingly, I was approached by a council worker here and told (not aggressively!) that the council did not allow photography in the cemetery on the grounds that a complaint had been made by a relative about a recognisable gravestone being published. However, he was quite happy for me to take a general view of the landscaping.
