Carleton Crematorium, together with the adjacent necropolis, Carleton Cemetery, is a graveyard on Stocks Road in Carleton, Poulton-le-Fylde, Lancashire. It was opened on 18 July 1935.
The building was created by Blackpool Borough architect, J C Robinson, who based his design on his own interpretation of the Mausoleum of Mausolus. At the north door is a chapel containing Books of Remembrance, which note the names of all those cremated or interred there.
The site is located in Carleton, partly in Blackpool and mostly in Poulton-le-Fylde, however the crematorium comes under the jurisdiction of Blackpool Council.[1]
