Children

There is a section at Greenford Park Cemetery for the burial of pre-term babies, infants and children up to the age of thirteen. If required, the graves can be dug to allow space above for one or both parents.

Cremated remains section

New cremated remains plots can be purchased for Greenford Park, South Ealing, Acton and Hortus Cemetery. The plots measuring 3ft x 3ft (90cm x 90cm) can take up to four cremation urns for burial.

Cremated remains can also be interred in our newly installed columbarium, which is located in the rest garden at Greenford Park Cemetery.

Memorials

Memorials are allowed in all our cemeteries but can only be erected by a recognised memorial mason. A ten-year memorial lease and a permit to carry out the work are both required. In the interest of safety there are regulations about the placing of memorials. Please ask your memorial mason for further information.

Muslim funerals

Greenford Park Cemetery only provides Islamic burial space. Hortus Cemetery in Southall is now full, and closed for Islamic burial space.

Interments in traditional Muslim graves need coffins or caskets, and are usually carried out within 48 hours of the booking. This service is available Monday to Friday. Funerals can be held on Saturday but a premium fee is charged to cover additional expenses. This charge is added to the purchase and interment costs.

Scattering of ashes

Arrangements can be made to scatter ashes in the rose garden at Hortus Cemetery in Southall or beneath a memorial tree within the woodland burial area at Greenford Park Cemetery.
