Consequently Wolverhampton General Cemetery was opened in 1850 providing an alternative burial area as local churchyards became increasingly congested.
In time Wolverhampton General Cemetery itself became congested and new cemeteries were opened locally, e.g. at Bushbury (1949) and Danescourt (1959), and perhaps in an attempt to avoid any confusion with the other local sites the use of the name Wolverhampton General Cemetery was discontinued and the cemetery became known as Merridale Cemetery.
It has approximately 23 acres of mainly traditional style graves, and is closed for new burials.
