Teddington’s local cemeteries and crematoria
Although we’re Teddington funeral directors, we work with cemeteries and crematoria across the UK. You are free to choose any cemetery or crematorium you like for a burial or cremation, although the rates will vary for non residents.
Usually, when somebody dies in Teddington, a local cemetery or crematorium is chosen, as it’s the easiest location for family, friends to get to, and there will be ties to the area too. And, of course, local Teddington residents will benefit from the residents’ rates offered by the Borough of Richmond upon Thames.
The cemeteries and crematoria serving the Teddington area include:
Teddington Cemetery
Built on a former orchard and opened in 1877, Teddington Cemetery is located in and managed by the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. In fact, some of the trees predate the creation of the cemetery.
There is a pretty chapel with spires that seats 60 people, with standing room for an additional 10. Interestingly, there’s also a small and ornate neo Gothic mortuary in the grounds (which is no longer in use).
