There's also a churchyard at Madron (which used to be the main church for Penzance) which also has an 'overspill' graveyard further along the main road through Madron. It's about a mile and a half from the Heamoor cemetery.

There are also three cemeteries at Paul (more for Mousehole and Newlyn deaths but there will be Penzance people in there). Small one at Crowlas on the A30 into Penzance. Ludgvan and Gulval churchyards are both within a couple of miles of PZ.
