A final resting place in Essex
Whether your loved one had personal ties to Essex, they lived here, or they had a special place within this county in mind, you’ll need to choose their final resting place before you select a custom memorial or traditional headstone. This is due to the fact that different cemeteries and crematoriums have different rules and restrictions.
Essex offers a county of contrasts when it comes to finding a location for a service and memorial; from vibrant towns to beautiful countryside and the calm Blackwater salt marshes. Essex is easily accessible by car and public transport, particularly because it borders London, and this makes it a practical location for friends and family wishing to visit the memorial.
Crematoriums and cemeteries in Essex
Once you have narrowed down the location to Essex, there’s still the matter of choosing the crematorium or cemetery and the location for a memorial. Perhaps you are looking for a spot surrounded by trees, a particular view, or near to water.
To make things that bit easier for you, we have collated all the contact information you need from Google Maps and have put it in an easy-to-use interactive map below. Simply hover over a pin and you will find what you need. If you are looking in a particular area of Essex, you can see the selection of crematoriums and cemeteries at a quick glance.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can you put a picture on a headstone?
Photoplaques are a great way to include a picture of your loved one on their headstone, giving you the chance to see their face every time you visit their place of rest. However, there are several ways that you can still include meaningful images on their headstone. For example, you could choose a portrait etching or a rose design.
Photo plaque images - how do I send them to you?
The photograph you choose should be clear and preferably of a high print quality. We can remove backgrounds and other people from the photo if necessary. Try to choose a photo which is not blurred or damaged in any way.
Consider whether the photo would best suit a landscape (horizontal) or portrait (vertical) photo plaque. In some cases your choice is restricted by the size/shape of your stone and the quantity of inscription text, if you are unsure please contact our staff and they will advise you.
