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.

This place is so welcoming. I've been visiting my husband over here for just over a year. The office staff and the ground staff treat people like family.

When to visit the cemetery today Namely the Book of Remembrance only to the pages had not been turned over, Not that but apparently staff only work Monday to Friday and cemetery gates open by "other" member of staff might it not be a good idea for that "staff" member to turn pages in Book of Remembrance.
