Cemetery Office, Dukinfield Cemetery

The cemetery office at Dukinfield Cemetery was built around 1865 and has undergone minor alterations in the 20th century. Designed by the architects Paull and Aycliffe from Manchester, the building features evenly coursed, squared rubble gritstone with ashlar dressings and wall bands. It has coped gables, a single side wall stack without pots, and a roof covered with Welsh slate. The structure is arranged in an 'L' shape, with service ranges at the rear and an entrance tower located at the angle of the two main sections.

The entrance front has a steeply-pitched gable on the left, which rises from a shallow ashlar plinth. There is a tall 4-light mullion and transom window with cusped heads, and a 2-light window on the first floor beneath a steeply pointed relieving arch. To the right is a narrow three-stage helm entrance tower with an arched doorway and a first-floor window that has an ashlar bell canopy above a string course. Above this, there are small coupled lancets and a clock face in the apex of the helm gable. The lower two-storey gable of the crosswing to the right features 3 and 2-light windows. At the rear, single-storey service ranges enclose a narrow yard. The office is visually associated with the chapel and crematorium, which can be seen together in the same view.
