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.
