Cemeteries & Crematoriums in Hertfordshire

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.

TESTIMONIALS

Memorials of Distinction was the best choice I made to have a headstone made for my dear grandmother. I appreciated their professionalism, their patience when left to make decisions, their advice when it came to wording and layout and their care during such a difficult time. They are always available for any questions asked and always give a prompt reply. They really made the process very easy, even providing a picture when the headstone was installed. My family and I could not recommend Memorials of Distinction enough and appreciate everything they have done especially during a pandemic. Thank you so much Memorials of Distinction.

Channy Google Review: 07/07/2021

We can not recommend Memorials of Distinction highly enough. As a family we wanted to order two memorials for two cemetery family plots, this could have been very stressful. From the moment of making the initial phone call to book an appointment at the Dunstable branch to completion of the memorials, the staff were very polite, friendly and helpful with a good knowledge to advise on how the end product would look. This was all during the COVID pandemic and although there was a delay at the docks on the material being delivered we were constantly kept updated with the progress. Now the memorials have been placed we could not be more pleased with the quality of the workmanship and without doubt would certainly recommend this company. Many thanks to all staff involved.

Went to see headstone. Love it. I did look around before I ordered it, and I still think there is nothing like it in the whole cemetery. Looks very classy with the silver lettering. Please pass on my thanks to those involved. Also, whoever erected it was very considerate to what was already there and replaced items respectfully. Already recommended your company to a lady who saw it and hasn’t had hers done yet. Thank you!

This was a custom memorial.
