Emmerdale Cemetery is the village's local cemetery. The cemetery used to be in the churchyard of the old St. Mary's Church, which was built in Viking times, until it was burned down and relocated to the corner of Church Lane and Hotten Road. Burials have been taking place here since the 1100s. Many of the local residents over the years have been buried here.

In November 2005, Seth Armstrong was secretly buried on Home Farm Estate land. A coffin containing bags of sand was buried in the Cemetery in his place. In January 2008, Rosemary King was buried in the same grave as her late husband, Tom King. However, Tom's sons hated the thought of Rosemary being buried with their father, so that evening, Tom's son Matthew had Rosemary's coffin dug up and thrown in the back of a bin lorry. In December 2011, Amy Wyatt gave birth to her son Kyle in the cemetery.
