New Cemetery
The new cemetery is located on Newtown Lane, off Blandford Road (opposite the Royal British Legion). The cemetery is owned and maintained by the Town Council. We are very proud to have one of the best kept cemeteries in Dorset.
Old Cemetery
The old cemetery is also located on Newtown Lane, off Blandford Road, where you will find commonwealth war graves and a small chapel.
The war memorial commemorates those who lost their lives during the First World War (1914-1918), Second World War (1939-1945) and Second World War – civilians.
On Remembrance Sunday the community comes together to remember the service and sacrifice of all those that defended our freedoms and protected our way of life. The civic parade starts from Central Avenue, attends a service of remembrance at St Nicholas Church on Wareham Road, Corfe Mullen and then lays wreaths at the war memorial in the old cemetery.
