Cemeteries and crematoria serving the Putney area

Anyone can be cremated or buried in any cemetery or crematorium in the country. The funeral doesn’t have to be in Putney, although the rates will vary for non residents. So although we're a funeral director in Putney, we work with crematoria and cemeteries right across the UK.

But if the person who has died is a Putney resident, most families or friends will usually choose somewhere close to Putney for the funeral. 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 residents’ rates for London Borough of Wandsworth residents.

The nearest cemeteries and crematoria to Putney include:
