Saturday is All Souls Day, a day when many families visit graves to remember their loved ones.
Management of the cemetery returned to Knutsford Town Council from Cheshire East Council in January 2020.
The five-acre site on Tabley Road opened in 1902, and whilst it had been managed by Cheshire East Council and the former Macclesfield Borough Council since 1974, its ownership has always been held by the town council.
The council vowed to introduce a number of changes as part of ambitious plans to make the cemetery the best in Cheshire.
The authority is currently in the middle of a five-year cemetery management plan which runs until 2027.
The cemetery is open to the public from dawn until dusk. Toilets are available on site.
