Brookwood Cemetery Visits

Brookwood Cemetery first opened in 1854 and was at one time the largest cemetery in the world. Today, it continues to be the largest cemetery in Western Europe and since its opening, approximately 250,000 people have been laid to rest within the beautiful grounds. It is near Woking, Surrey, adjacent to the A322 Guildford – Bagshot Road (Junction 3 off the M3).
