Bespoke Tailored Funerals in Holland 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 Holland Park 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.
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 Holland Park 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 Holland Park
Although we’re funeral directors in Holland Park, we work with cemeteries and crematoria across the UK. You are free to choose any location for a burial or cremation, although the rates will vary for non residents.
But usually, when somebody dies in Holland Park, families will choose a local cemetery or crematorium for the funeral, as there will be ties to the area or there may be other family members already buried or interned there. And, of course, local Holland Park residents will benefit from the residents’ rates offered by the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.
The cemeteries and crematoria serving the Holland Park area include:
Brompton Cemetery
Brompton Cemetery was consecrated by the Bishop of London in June 1840 and is one of Britain's oldest garden cemeteries. Located in West Brompton in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, it’s managed by the Royal Parks and is Britain's only Crown Cemetery.
The cemetery features two sweeping colonnades and a spectacular chapel made from honey coloured Bath stone that seats up to 100. The chapel, colonnades and Brompton Road gate are all Grade II* listed.
Burial plots are available and there is also a Garden of Remembrance for cremated remains as well as a columbarium for urns.
