The City of London Cemetery & Crematorium provides a
peaceful resting place in picturesque surroundings. Its 200-acre
site near
Epping Forest was purchased by the City of London in 1854 and
carefully landscaped with shrubberies, flowers and avenues of
chestnuts, oaks, limes, planes, copper beeches and cedars.
Anyone can be buried or cremated here - irrespective of City
connections or religious beliefs. Our staff aim to provide the
highest standard of service to the bereaved, offering sympathetic
help, information and advice.
