It's hard to compliment a graveyard without sounding like a commiserable goth, a member of the WI…read moreor a mental case. Nevertheless, Springwood cemetery is a lovely place to let your carcass rot into eternity, mainly because it's so large, big enough to necessitate a trio of chapels. It's the closest thing this city has to those vast European places with a thick forest of headstones and complex stone memorials, most of them standing above incredibly famous corpses. Springwood is a lush, organised cemetery that is pleasant to walk around, but if you're out for a stroll there's much less morbid places nearby that you could just go to instead. Otherwise there's a danger you'll glance a funny name on a tombstone and giggle in front of a funeral. And that's just awkward.

We called Peter Coyne Funeral Services and Peter and his lovely wife Lorraine very gently guided us through this incredibly difficult time.

Very large cemetery. We were looking for graves from the 1930's early 40's without headstones. I…read morenearly gave up when I saw the size of the entire cemetery, it is in sections on a plan but when you are actually standing at the entrance it is a daunting task to find graves just off a map. We were helped by a very kind and helpful superintendent who showed us that all headstones have a section number and a grave number on the back. I think we were lucky to get some help as all the workers were very busy tending to this lovely well kept cemetery. It is very big, but well kept and still there seems to be plenty of room for a few more years to come.

I seldom walk around cemetries but this one in particular is one which I may visit once in a while…read morebecause I have a family member buried at this grave yard. Cemetries aren't the most pleasurable of places to go but this one is quite large in size so there is plenty of freedom to have a quiet stroll on a pleasant day but perhaps not the best of places to have a family picnic when you have Sefton Park, a 5 minute drive away! Whether I would want to be buried here remains a question - probably yes. All Liverpool cemetries are similar in nature so there wouldn't be much difference with only the 'location' being a key factor. At least there aren't any signs of vandalism or hoodies about. Apologies for the morbid review!

Before you come back at me with "But that's what all graveyards are," and "Seriously? You're reviewing a graveyard?" bear in mind the labyrinthine decorum of other, grander places. European corpse-meadows, for instance, are little worlds in their own, where you don't feel awkward strolling around. Toxteth Cemetery isn't this at all. You feel intrusive even if you cut through it and despite being home to a good portion of my rotting ancestry, I still wouldn't want to end up here. I'd rather be buried in Asda.
