Cemeteries and crematoria serving the Finchley area

Although we’re funeral directors in Finchley, we organise funerals across all the London boroughs and further afield too. In fact, anyone can be cremated or buried in any cemetery or crematorium in the country.

But if the person who has died lives in the Finchley area, most families will usually choose somewhere local when it comes to arranging the funeral. That’s because there will probably be ties to the area, or a family member is already buried or interned there, and, of course, there is often the benefit of reduced rates for local London Borough of Barnet residents.
