A final resting place in Bedfordshire

There’s a lot to think about when planning a burial or cremation, but a good first step forward is choosing the location, then everything else can stem from that. This is because many cemeteries and crematoriums have rules about which bespoke gravestones, traditional headstones or memorial statues are permitted. Once you’ve found the special location for a final resting place, then we can support you as you choose a fitting tribute.

The historic county of Bedfordshire is easily accessible for friends and family to visit and offers so much, from pretty riverside villages to beautiful countryside, and all just a short journey away from London.

Cemeteries and crematoriums in Bedfordshire

You’d be forgiven for thinking all cemeteries are the same until you get researching. The location you choose within Bedfordshire will depend on so many things — whether your loved one wanted a specific spot, whether the location is easily accessible by car, and whether you’re looking for a religious or non-religious ceremony. Perhaps you’d like a location near to the river in the town of Bedford, or you might want a more rural location, like the pretty, riverside market town of Sandy.

To simplify things for you, we’ve put information on each crematorium and cemetery from Google Maps into the interactive map below so you can find what you need quickly and easily. Just hover over each pin to see more information.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens to funeral flowers after a funeral?

After the funeral, family and friends will normally take the flowers home or return to collect them the next day. The flowers will usually last for a couple of weeks after the funeral, comforting those who are mourning.

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.

For more detailed information about the format and size of photos try these links

  • Photo Plaques, a guide to sending images
  • Or use our downloadable guide to images (PDF).

Can I add kerbs in front of a small/children's memorial?

Yes, we can put a small graveside surround called ‘Garden Kerbs’ around any headstone, providing the cemetery gives permission. We will be able to advise you on this and apply for a permit on your behalf.

Andy H.
Excellent service and a quality product. Having originally purchase a headstone from them for my father, I recently asked them to add my mums details after her passing and to re-letter my dad’s guilding. Everything was completed to an excellent standard and I would highly recommend them.
