It was last used for regular burials in 1904, but the final funeral in a reserved plot took place in 1929.
Its most famous occupant is David Lewis, who founded Lewis’s department store and died in 1885.

Also buried there is Moses Samuel, whose business was turned into the H Samuel jewellers and Liverpool’s first Jewish mayor, Charles Mozley.
Although there are 750 headstones, it is thought 1,723 people are buried there - including around 900 unmarked graves of babies and infants.
