Ford Park Cemetery is the final resting place of more than 750 service members from the First World War alone, 200 of whom are laid to rest in a dedicated naval plot. The cemetery also holds 198 war graves from the Second World War. In the older burial section near the Grade II-listed Victorian chapel, large circular vaults stand as a reminder of the past—some still bearing the scars of air raids from World War II.

A thirty four acre working cemetery in the heart of the city of Plymouth. Founded in 1848 now owned and managed by the Ford Park Cemetery Trust, a company limited by guarantee with charitable status.
