Does anyone know if there is an online plan of this cemetery.  Have a grave number but don't know the area or lay out of the cemetery.  Many thanks

Thank you, this does give a map of cemetery location but not where to find specific plots e.g. section A and section B. 
I was hoping to have some idea of where in the cemetery to start looking as I am not local and will have limited time for a visit.

Try contacting the local Tameside council. It's one of their cemeteries so they ought to have a layout somewhere.

Hi
I will be visiting Droylsden cemetery within the next month if you let me know the grave number I will try to find it for you and e mail you a photo. I have only been once before there is no map but it isnt very big and fairly easy to find your way round. Many of the grave are in a poor state of repair though so dont get your hopes up.

Hi  I too am  planning to visit in the near future as I have just found a record of an uncle buried there (died as a baby) I beleive there may be other family members there. Was wondering how you got on?

The cemetery is very run down in parts and I could not find a plan anywhere. It's easy enough to work out where the various sections are though. The numbering is a little more errantic. You cannot go into the cemetery in your car so will need to park near the entrance on Manor Road.
