Across Hertfordshire there is a wide choice of crematoriums and cemeteries, so choosing the right place to lay your departed loved one to rest can feel like a daunting task. In order to make the process simpler at a time when you may already be feeling overwhelmed, we have collated the information on each crematorium and cemetery in Hertfordshire from Google Maps and put them all on the interactive map below.
If you hover over a pin on the map you will see that we have included the name, address and opening hours of the crematorium or cemetery, so that you can quickly see if it is right for you.
If you would like to use this map yourself, please feel free to get in touch and we will happily supply the embed code.

I have seen the memorial and it is an excellent quality piece of work. It is exactly what we wanted and I would like to thank everyone for the kind and considerate way they have dealt with me throughout this process.

I was recommended to Memorial of Distinction by my late wife’s niece and throughout a very sensitive time in my life I found them to be exceptional. They were sensitive to my needs and kept me informed at all times, the workmanship was outstanding, and the attention to detail was second to none. An outstanding company to deal with, when you have to do something you really don’t want to do.

I would just like to say a massive thank you to everyone, especially to the stonemason! We are absolutely delighted with our sons headstone. We’ve waited such a long time to purchase it, but we are thrilled with it! The detail that’s gone into it is just incredible.
Thank you to everyone that I spoke to along the way, everyone was always so helpful and the communication was brilliant. I will not hesitate to recommend you to anyone!
