Bespoke Tailored Funerals in Finsbury Park
We can help you create a funeral that is as unique and individual as the person who has died. Our fully bespoke tailored service for either cremation or burial provides you with the support and resources to explore your ideas and organise a funeral that is both fitting and personal. 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 Finsbury Park or elsewhere. Our exceptional service includes as many meetings as needed to create the ceremony as well as visits to our Crouch End 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.
There are endless possibilities of what a funeral can look like and as experienced funeral directors, we can guide you through the process and the choices and options available.

Early Morning Cremation
This shorter 20 minute service is held close to Finsbury Park 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
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 Finsbury Park area
Anyone can be cremated or buried in any cemetery or crematorium in the country. So although we’re Finsbury Park funeral directors, we organise funerals across all the London boroughs and further afield too.
But if the person who has died lives in the Finsbury Park area, most families 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 residents.
Cemeteries and crematoria for Finsbury Park include:
Islington and St Pancras Cemetery
Although situated in East Finchley in the London Borough of Barnet, Islington and St Pancras Cemetery is actually owned and managed by two other London boroughs: Islington and Camden. Established in 1854, the cemetery was London’s first publicly owned cemetery and one of the Capital’s largest too. The cemetery has several chapels including the St Pancras Anglican chapel, which is Grade ll listed. Vault burials, and traditional and lawn graves are available as well as a woodland burial area.
