Cemeteries and crematoria serving the Richmond area
Irrespective of where someone lives, you can be buried or cremated anywhere, although the rates will vary for non residents. So although we're funeral directors in Richmond, we work with cemeteries and crematoria right across the UK.
But most residents of Richmond will choose to be buried or cremated somewhere in the Richmond borough, as it’s highly likely there are ties to the area or there may be other family members already buried or interned there. And of course, local Richmond residents benefit from special residents’ rates.
The cemeteries and crematoria serving the Richmond area include:
Richmond Cemetery
Richmond Cemetery is one of London’s oldest cemeteries having opened in 1786 and is owned and managed by the London Borough of Richmond. Over the centuries the cemetery has expanded significantly and now borders Richmond Park and East Sheen Cemetery.
The cemetery originally had two chapels of its own, one Anglican and one non conformist but both those chapels are now privately owned, and Richmond Cemetery uses the chapel in the East Sheen Cemetery for burial services.
