- Access
-
There is vehicle access to the cemetery via the Oxhill Road, and Camp Lane/Park Lane gates with a speed limit of 5mph.
The road network allows access to all sections, but most roads are narrow. Consider other cemetery visitors when parking. Do not park on the grave sections or grassed areas. Park near the chapel where there is more space if you can.
Some roads are uneven and bumpy due to tree roots and may be unsuitable for wheelchair users and pushchairs. Take care when walking along grave rows as the ground may be uneven and the grass can be slippery in wet weather.
There is an accessible toilet, next to the cemetery office. This toilet does not require a radar key.
The chapel is only open for funerals and special events. There is a ramp available via the main door; ask a member of staff to assist you. The ground floor has level access inside the chapel.
There is no staffed office on site. Handsworth cemetery is managed from Sutton New Hall cemetery.
Handsworth cemetery is served by the 101 bus which stops outside the Oxhill Road gate.
