A final resting place in London

When planning for a cremation or burial, you need to choose the location first, as sometimes they will have rules and restrictions on what bespoke memorials, grave ornaments and headstones they allow.

As a truly global city, London is a practical location for friends and family wishing to visit a departed loved one via public transport or car. One of the many reasons that London is so loved is that it offers more green space than many other capital cities — 47% of London is green space. Even in built-up central locations you can find a church garden tucked away down a backstreet.

London’s many cemeteries and crematoriums are the final resting places for many famous and prestigious figures.

Crematoriums and cemeteries in London

There are so many crematoriums and cemeteries across the capital that it can be hard to know where to start looking. London offers so much, from religious or non-religious burials and cremations, to locations near the river, steeped in history or modern memorial gardens.

London’s final resting places include ‘The Magnificent Seven’ — seven large cemeteries in London established in the 19th century. Kensal Green Cemetery and Brompton Cemetery number among these famous sites.
