By 1859 the churchyard at the parish church, All Saints, was full and a new burial ground was needed. The land for a new Odiham Cemetery was purchased from a local banker and the cemetery was consecrated by the Bishop of Winchester in 1860. The two mortuary chapels -- the north for non-conformists, the south for Anglicans -- the cottage and gates were designed by the Winchester architect J. Colson, and cost £1050 to build. The cemetery was initially administered by a local Burial Board, but the Parish Council took over responsibility when it was formed in 1894. The chapels have not been used for many years, but as listed buildings are maintained by the Parish Council, with the last major renovation being done in 1991. The cemetery was enlarged in 1913 and an extension was created in 1939. There is an area set aside for RAF burials, and there is now an area for non Christian burials.
