Eastern Necropolis, Janefield Street, Glasgow G31 4DR

This is one of the oldest Cemeteries, having been acquired in 1853 and in use after the Glasgow Necropolis. The first burial was in 1855, the Cemetery was extended in 1891 and has now been completely renovated.  Out of approximately 607 Burials, only about 175 headstones are visible now.  Some stones have also been uncovered out with the “Jewish” enclosure ( as at 26th October 2023 ).  There are approximately 432 unmarked graves, many of them infants.
These figures were arrived at after comprehensive access to the official Council records.
