Agecroft Cemetery and Crematorium is a public cemetery in Pendlebury, Salford, Greater Manchester. Agecroft Cemetery was opened as Salford Northern Cemetery by Alderman Sir William StephensSalford County Borough Council on 2 July 1903 on 45 acres of ground because the existing cemetery at Weaste was near to capacity. The new cemetery, which lies in the Irwell Valley alongside the river bounded by Agecroft Road and Langley Road in Pendlebury, was initially outside the Salford county borough boundary, but has lain within the city since Pendlebury was incorporated into the City of Salford in 1974. Since the cemetery was opened more than 53,700 interments have been carried out. The original non-conformist chapel was converted to a crematorium in January 1957 which since then has handled nearly 60,000 cremation services. The crematorium chapel can hold up to 60 mourners.
