Early Morning Cremation
This shorter 20 minute service is held close to Chiswick 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 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 Chiswick area
Anyone can be cremated or buried in any cemetery or crematorium in the country. So although we’re funeral directors in Chiswick, we work with crematoria and cemeteries right across the UK.
But if the person who has died lives in the Chiswick area and is a London Borough of Hounslow resident, most families or friends who are arranging the funeral usually choose somewhere local. And that’s because there will probably be ties to the area, or a family member is already buried or interned there, and, of course, there’s the benefit of reduced rates for Hounslow residents.
Cemeteries and crematoria near Chiswick include:
Chiswick New Cemetery
Opened in 1993, on the site of a former water meadow, Chiswick New Cemetery is located in Chiswick and provides burials for residents from the London Borough of Hounslow.
The burial chapel, built from Portland stone in an Art Deco style, seats around 50 people with space for another 10 standing. The chapel can be used by people of all beliefs as religious symbols within the chapel are easily removeable.
