Cemeteries and crematoria serving the Muswell Hill area
Although we’re funeral directors in Muswell Hill, 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 Muswell Hill area, most families or friends who are arranging the funeral will usually choose somewhere local. And that’s because there will probably be ties to the area, or a family member is already buried or interned there.
