Cemeteries and crematoria serving the East Sheen 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 East Sheen, we work with cemeteries and crematoria across all the London boroughs and further afield too.
But most residents of East Sheen 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 East Sheen area include:
