At Exit Here, we serve all faiths and cultures and offer all types of funerals – whether a cremation, cemetery or natural burial. As local funeral directors, we can recommend both traditional and alternative venues in Hammersmith and further afield.
Our professional fees start from £1,750* for an unattended cremation, £2,300* for an early morning cremation (*prices inclusive of a hearse, simple coffin and crematorium costs) and £2,500 + 3rd party costs and choices for our bespoke tailored service.
We offer genuine choice and value whatever your budget and are here to help.
Bespoke Tailored Funerals in Hammersmith
We can help you create a funeral that is as unique and individual as the person who has died. Our fully bespoke tailored service for either cremation or burial provides you with the support and resources to explore your ideas and organise a funeral that is both fitting and personal. We can advise on choice of coffin, hearse & cars, the floral arrangements, design and print the orders of service, and help organise the post funeral hospitality, in Hammersmith or elsewhere. Our exceptional service includes as many meetings as needed to create the ceremony as well as visits to our Chiswick home if you wish to spend some time with your loved one. With our experience and knowledge of the hospitality industry we are uniquely positioned to deliver a memorable funeral celebration.
There are endless possibilities of what a funeral can look like and as experienced funeral directors, we can guide you through the process and the choices and options available.

Early Morning Cremation
This shorter 20 minute service is held close to Hammersmith 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 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
£2,300 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 or Crouch End homes, and when and where the cremation will be (usually at Mortlake 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.

Funeral reception venues in and around Hammersmith
After the sadness of the funeral, the funeral reception gives guests the opportunity to talk, laugh, shed a few tears and share memories.
Whether you prefer a smaller reception at home, or dinner at a special restaurant, a gathering at a favourite pub or maybe a celebratory event at a nearby venue, Exit Here can help you plan every aspect of the funeral reception. We can organise everything from the menu and flowers to the guest list and invitations.

Cemeteries and crematoria serving the Hammersmith area
Anyone can be cremated or buried in any cemetery or crematorium in the country. The funeral doesn’t have to be in the Hammersmith area, although the rates will vary for non residents. So although we're a Hammersmith and Fulham funeral director, we work with crematoria and cemeteries right across the UK.
But if the person who has died is a Hammersmith resident, most families or friends who are arranging the funeral will choose somewhere close by. 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 Hammersmith and Fulham residents.
Cemeteries and crematoria serving the Hammersmith area include:
Mortlake Cemetery
Mortlake Cemetery is in Kew but managed by the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. To be buried in Mortlake and receive residents’ rates, the person who has died or the person buying the plot must be residents of the borough.
Opened in 1926, Mortlake Cemetery is sometimes referred to as Hammersmith New cemetery and is well known for its pretty gothic chapel which seats 60 people, with room for 15 standing.
