Mortuary at Wrexham Cemetery

The Mortuary at Wrexham Cemetery is a single-storey brick building dating from the 19th century, positioned at right angles to and elevated above Ruabon Road, with an associated forecourt. It features a roof covered in diamond-pattern slates, some of which have been replaced with similar asbestos-cement slates. The front of the building faces east, while the north gable end and rear walls are built into a steep slope. The openings have cambered brick heads, and the windows have stone sills. The front includes a doorway on the left and a window on the right, both of which were protected by steel shutters at the time of inspection. The window is a two-pane sash window, although the lower sash is missing, and the doorway is said to have double doors. There is also a small window in the south gable end.

Access to the mortuary is through double boarded gates in the cemetery wall facing the street, with concrete steps leading up to the forecourt. This area is bordered by simple concrete retaining walls, with railings on the upper, north side.

Inside, the building is divided into two rooms. The entrance leads to a room containing two coffin slabs on brick bases, positioned against the corners. The second room features a ceramic mortuary slab with a drain hole and a ceramic double-basin attached to the wall. The floor is made of concrete and includes integral drainage gullies.
