We can advise on choice of coffin, hearse & cars, the floral arrangements, design and print the orders of service, and help organise the post funeral hospitality, in Bayswater or elsewhere. Our exceptional service includes as many meetings as needed to create the ceremony as well as visits to our Chiswick home if you wish to spend some time with your loved one. With our experience and knowledge of the hospitality industry we are uniquely positioned to deliver a memorable funeral celebration.

Early Morning Cremation
This shorter 20 minute service is held close to Bayswater at Mortlake Crematorium at either 9am or 9.30am with up to 10 attendees. This is ideal if you prefer a smaller, more intimate family led service to a full funeral ceremony. The service can be personalised with music, readings and tributes and we also offer a visit to see the person who has died at our nearby Chiswick premises, should you wish.
The Early Morning Cremation service often appeals to families who are seeking a lower cost alternative but who also want to be present, connected and part of the final step of their loved one’s journey
£2,300 inclusive
Unattended Cremation
This service is often known as a Direct Cremation and is where there is no ceremony and no attendees. It is the most minimal and least expensive option and has the least amount of choice, however at Exit Here your loved one will be treated with the same level of care and respect as with our bespoke funeral service. Unlike direct cremation providers we will tell you when they are brought into our care at either our Chiswick or Crouch End homes, and when and where the cremation will be (usually at Mortlake or Islington & St Pancras crematoriums). You can also choose a song for the ceremony, place personal items in the coffin and we will take a photo of the coffin at the crematorium, if you wish.

Cemeteries and crematoria serving the Bayswater area
Although we’re funeral directors in Bayswater, we can organise a funeral anywhere in the UK. There are no restrictions as to where someone can be buried or cremated, and it doesn’t have to be in the same borough to where the person has died.
However, most families who are arranging a funeral for someone who has died in Bayswater will choose a local cemetery or crematorium, as there are probably ties to the area and family members or friends may live nearby. Local Bayswater residents also benefit from the special rates offered to those living in the City of Westminster.
Cemeteries and crematoria serving the Bayswater area include:
Hanwell Cemetery (Westminster)
Although located in the London Borough of Ealing, Hanwell Cemetery is managed by the City of Westminster's Parks Service having previously been owned and managed by the original City of Westminster. It’s why it’s sometime still referred to as the City of Westminster Cemetery.
Land was purchased in Ealing in 1853 to serve the people of Westminster, and the cemetery was consecrated by the Bishop of London in 1854. The chapels and offices are in the Victorian Gothic style.
There is a second Hanwell Cemetery which is managed by Kensington and Chelsea.
