Carleton Crematorium

Carleton Crematorium, together with the adjacent necropolis, Carleton Cemetery, was opened on 18 July 1935. It is situated on Stocks Road in Carleton, Lancashire, just outside Blackpool. The building was created by Blackpool Borough architect, J C Robinson, who based his design on his own interpretation of the Mausoleum of Maussollos. At the north door is a chapel containing Books of Remembrance, which note the names of all those cremated or interred there. [http://www.blackpool.gov.uk/Services/A-F/FuneralCremations/]

I got nothing that I asked for
But everything I had hoped for
Despite myself my prayers were answered
I was among all men richly blessed
