Burials

Hendon Cemetery and Crematorium has been providing burial options since 1899. Anyone may be buried at Hendon irrespective of faith or the area in which you live.

We can accommodate all types of lawful burial; whether this is a traditional coffin, casket, wicker coffin, shroud or mausoleum.

Choosing a grave is an important decision. We recommend you visit the Cemetery to view the types of grave and areas available before you make your final decision. Please contact our team to book an appointment. During the appointment, we will ask you to choose the area in which your loved one will be buried.

We keep a pre-dug grave available in our Muslim section to accommodate urgent burials.
