Early Morning Cremation

This shorter 20 minute service is held close to Finchley at Islington & St Pancras 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 Crouch End 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

SEE OUR CREMATION PRICES

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.

Funeral reception venues in and around Finchley

Families who are organising a funeral often say they want to give the person who’s died a good send off. Whether you choose a gathering at a local pub or at home, or maybe a dinner at a favourite restaurant, is completely up to you. But it should feel personal and celebratory.

Whatever type of funeral reception you choose, Exit Here can help you plan every aspect, from the food that’s served to how the venue is decorated. We can also organise the guest list, arrange flowers and send out invitations.

Cemeteries and crematoria serving the Finchley area

Although we’re funeral directors in Finchley, we organise funerals across all the London boroughs and further afield too. In fact, anyone can be cremated or buried in any cemetery or crematorium in the country.

But if the person who has died lives in the Finchley area, most families will usually choose somewhere local when it comes to arranging the funeral. 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 is often the benefit of reduced rates for local London Borough of Barnet residents.
