Crematorium in London, England
Golders Green Crematorium and Mausoleum was the first crematorium to be opened in
London , and one of the oldest
crematoria in Britain.
[1]
[2] The land for the crematorium was purchased in 1900, costing £6,000 (the equivalent of £135,987 in 2021), and the crematorium was opened in 1902 by
Sir Henry Thompson .
[2]
Golders Green Crematorium, as it is usually called, is in Hoop Lane, off
Finchley Road ,
Golders Green , London NW11, ten minutes' walk from
Golders Green Underground station . It is directly opposite the
Golders Green Jewish Cemetery (Golders Green is an area with a large Jewish population). The crematorium is
secular , accepts all faiths and non-believers; clients may arrange their own type of service or remembrance event and choose whatever music they wish.

The crematorium gardens are listed at Grade I in the
National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens .

History
The Bedford Chapel at Golders Green Crematorium
Horder Japanese Garden Pond
Cremation was not legal in Great Britain until 1885. The
first crematorium was built in
Woking and it was successful. At that time cremation was championed by the
Cremation Society of Great Britain .
[5] This society was governed by a council, at that time led by Sir Henry Thompson (president and founding member). There is a bust to his memory in the West Chapel of Golders Green Crematorium. Out of this Society was formed the London Cremation Company (which has its offices on the premises), who desired to build a crematorium within easy reach of London.
The crematorium in Golders Green was designed by the architect Sir
Ernest George and his partner Alfred Yeates.
[6] The gardens were laid out by
William Robinson .
[2] The crematorium is a red brick building in
Lombardic style and was built in stages, as money became available.
[2]
[6] The crematorium opened in 1902 and was built in four phases (1901–1910, 1910–1911, 1912–1916, 1926–1928).
[7] By 1939, the site was largely completed, although since then some buildings have been added. Since November 1902 more than 323,500 cremations have taken place at Golders Green Crematorium, far more than any other British crematorium. It is estimated that the crematorium now averages around 2,000 cremations a year. The funerals of many prominent people have taken place there over the last century.
Ironically, the ashes of the first person cremated at Woking,
Mrs Jeanette Pickersgill (died 21 April 1885), widow of artist
Henry William Pickersgill , were removed from Woking to the East Columbarium at Golders Green, according to Woking's cremation records.
Into the Silent Land by
Henry Alfred Pegram
The chimney of the crematorium is located within the tower and the building is in an
Italianate style .
[1] The 12 acres (4.9 ha) of gardens are extensively planted, and produce a beautiful and tranquil environment for visitors. There are several large tombs, two ponds and bridge, and a large
crocus lawn. Another notable feature is a special children's section, which includes a swinging bench. There is also a 'communist corner' with memorials to notables of the
Communist Party of Great Britain . There are two cremation chapels and a Chapel of Memory. There are also three
columbaria containing the ashes of thousands of Londoners and residents of neighbouring counties.
There have been 14 holders of the
Victoria Cross cremated here,
[8] and there are locations and memorials for many other military personnel of all ranks, and from many countries. Largest among them is the
Commonwealth War Graves Commission memorial, commemorating 496 British and Commonwealth military casualties of both World Wars who were cremated here. Designed by Sir
Edward Maufe , it was unveiled in 1952. Built in
Portland stone with names listed on three bronze panels, it stands at head of an ornamental pond at the western end of the memorial cloister.
[9]
At Christmas, a
Christmas tree is erected in the field in front of the main buildings. Although the crematorium is secular, a
nativity scene is also placed near the Chapel of Memory.

Notable monuments
