Find a burial ground or cemetery in Strood

Strood has one burial ground – Strood Cemetery on Cuxton Road. This is an active cemetery that’s owned and managed by Medway Council. Strood Cemetery isn’t the only option, though. Here are a few more burial grounds you could consider:

• Chatham Cemetery (council run)
• Fort Pitt Military Cemetery, Rochester – only for people who have served in the military
• St Margaret’s Cemetery, Rochester (council run)
• Woodlands Cemetery, Gillingham (council run)

According to the local council, Chatham Cemetery and Woodlands Cemetery have ‘additional provision’ for people of Islamic and Roman Catholic faith. However, it’s unclear whether this means there are dedicated areas set aside. For more info on the council-run cemeteries, visit the Medway Council website.
