CEMETERIES & CREMATORIA

In and around London, there is a huge variety of cemeteries and crematoria, ranging from gorgeous Victorian gothic landscapes to beautiful natural burial grounds nestled in established woodland.

Although there are all very different and unique landscapes, they are all there for a single purpose. They are all there to help you mark the end of someone’s life and celebrate them in any way you wish.

Words From Families We’ve Served



Outstanding service, they treat you like family and listen to all your needs. Words cannot do justice to the service they delivered for my Auntie. Multicultural, multifaith team thats what makes them the best funeral directors in the UK. Thanks again guys



Compassionate Funerals are very caring, considerate and truly live up to their name. I was at a funeral of a friend's father which they took complete care of, going above and beyond, to ensure it ran smoothly. A truly blessed funeral company. Thank you!

Ayub



The team at Compassionate Funerals were exceptional. Allistair was very accommodating and came to the family house to meet all the family to get a sense of our mother who passed away. They made us feel like we were celebrating the life of our loved one rather than grieving a loss.
I would highly recommend them.

Sonia



I highly recommend Compassionate. They responded quickly and sensitively to our requests within a tight timeframe (after our mother passed away very suddenly) and supported us wonderfully in providing a lovely service.

I found Compassionate Funerals to be very helpful, reliable and economical. I have recommended them since and would do so again.

Couldn't have asked for more. Allistair and his staff helped my family through one of our toughest times. The kindness, warmth and patience shown to us was more then we could ever have expected.

We would like to sincerely thank you for your support.
