Our cemetery and memorial grounds

Beckenham Cemetery is a peaceful setting in the London Borough of Bromley. Established in the Victorian era, its mature trees, well-maintained gardens and quiet pathways reflect a tradition of thoughtfully landscaped burial grounds, creating a tranquil space for remembrance and reflection. We're proud to serve families from every cultural and religious background. Working closely with community leaders and families, we are able to accommodate individual customs and traditions, from burials to memorials.

Headstones

Our grave options

Traditional graves

Traditional graves allow for a full kerb set (a headstone with a stone surround ) alongside personalised memorial designs. A classic and enduring choice that can be tailored to reflect the individuality of your loved one.

Premium and prestige

These are positioned in some of the most sought-after locations within our grounds, chosen for their setting and accessibility. All traditional grave options, including kerb sets and personalised memorials, are available in these locations.

Private family burial gardens

Private family burial gardens are designed to give families a place they can feel connected to for years to come. They offer a private and gated resting place for burials (and ashes), with full flexibility on the internal design and memorials included.

Below ground vaults

Below ground vaults are secure chambers set beneath the ground, designed to hold coffins or ashes with long-term care and protection. Personal memorials can be incorporated, creating a lasting and meaningful place of remembrance.

Memorials at Beckenham Cemetery

A memorial is a lasting place to pause, reflect and remember, and it should feel as unique as the person it honours. Our memorial specialists will talk you through the options, from traditional headstones and kerb sets to fully bespoke tributes, so that you can find something that feels right.

Memorials can also be pre-purchased, giving you peace of mind that your wishes will be met, while taking the emotional and financial pressure off your loved ones.
