Your spelling is spot on, Willow.

As far as I am aware the Macpelah graveyard, though situated in "Old" Accrington did not date back much beyond the middle to early 19th Century, though I could be wrong.

The practice of cremation fell out of use with the advent of Christianity and its doctrine of the resurrection of the body as well as the soul.
