Simple Early Morning Cremation
This shorter 20 minute service is held close to Mortlake 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 Simple 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
£2,650 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, Chelsea or Crouch End homes, and when and where the cremation will be (usually at Mortlake, Putney Vale 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 Mortlake area
Irrespective of where someone lives, you can be buried or cremated anywhere, although the rates will vary for non residents. So although we're funeral directors in Mortlake, we work with cemeteries and crematoria across all the London boroughs and further afield too.
But most residents of Mortlake will choose to be buried or cremated somewhere in the Richmond borough, as it’s highly likely there are ties to the area or there may be other family members already buried or interned there. And of course, local London Borough of Richmond residents often benefit from special residents’ rates.
The cemeteries and crematoria serving the Mortlake area include:
Richmond Cemetery
Richmond Cemetery is one of London’s oldest cemeteries having opened in 1786 and is owned and managed by the London Borough of Richmond. Over the centuries the cemetery has expanded significantly and now borders Richmond Park and East Sheen Cemetery.

Richmond Cemetery uses the chapel in the East Sheen Cemetery for burial services.
