Our crematorium and memorial grounds
Rich in heritage and deeply connected to the local community, East London Crematorium & Cemetery has served the area for generations. Set within 33 acres of historic grounds, our two beautiful chapels offer light, peaceful spaces to come together, share memories and celebrate a life. Our memorial gardens are filled with over 3,000 rose bushes and the protected trees we care for, creating a calm place for reflection throughout the year.
A chapel for all faiths and beliefs
The cremation chapel at East London Crematorium was thoughtfully designed to mirror the style of our Victorian burial chapel, with high ceilings and large, bright windows. This is a welcoming space with comfortable seating for up to 64 guests, plus room for an additional 30 guests for larger funeral services. A modern sound system can play music of your choice, and there's space for singers and musicians too.
