"Office and Lodge to cemetery. 1862-4. By Lucy and Littler. Coursed and squared rubble with Welsh slate roof. 1- and 2 storeys, asymmetrically-planned in picturesque gothic style. 3 bays to south elevation with central tower over entrance porch. Moulded archway with shafts and hood mould. Wide chamfered angles to tower above with gable in each face, with heavy foliate bases to short shafts each side of Birkenhead arms, then tall timber fleche with trefoiled niches and wrought-iron finial. Window and dormer in roof over to right. Office to left with stepped 3-light foiled window in expressed gable, and segmental bay window with half-conical roof and paired transomed lights in end gable."
Looks like it has a lightening strap also.

God help us, Come yourself, Don't send Jesus, This is no place for children.
The owner of the lodge is on the Flaybrick Memorial Gardens and Lodge History facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/876102829516940 but it is a private group so you would have to join the group.
No idea on the ornate metal spire, it may have been purely decorative or might have been a lighting conductor, the spire itself is wooden with lead sheet covering. The modern rod strapped to it appears to be an antenna whose cable is broken lower down.
