The only crematorium in the Bolton area, Overdale opened in 1954. With an average of 3,500 cremations per year, Overdale is a busy crematorium with two chapels and beautiful gardens of rememberance located adjacent to Heaton Cemetery. The West Chapel was recently refurbished and the cremator equipment upgraded to comply with environmental legislation and substantially reduce emissions.
