Cemeteries and crematoria serving the Ealing area
Anyone can be cremated or buried in any cemetery or crematorium in the country. So although we're a funeral director in Ealing, we work with crematoria and cemeteries right across the UK.
But if the person who has died is a resident of Ealing, most families or friends who are arranging the funeral will choose somewhere close by. There will probably be ties to the area, or a family member is already buried or interned there. And, of course, there’s the benefit of residents’ rates for those living in the London Borough of Ealing.
