Unusual question perhaps - could you recommend a small, lovely, reasonably priced cemetary in London?

[nonprofitorgs]

Just that really - the lovely ones in the centre are too expensive for us - could anyone recommend a lovely cemetary for internment of ashes/small grave stone anywhere in London or its outskirts? Thank you!

Didn't you ask this very recently or have I got a massive Dejavue?

Not dejavu! Here it is!

Does anyone know of a cemetary in London where you can have an In Remembrance plaque but without placing ashes at the site? An elderly family member has died recently and we are told by Islington and Camden that plaques can only be placed if there are ashes interned and although some of the family would like this, some would like to scatter the ashes in nature (yes I know this is illegal).
Also, if anyone knows of a really beautiful cemetary in London or the outskirts which is not very overcrowed and would accept ashes from a nonresident (if we all end up agreeing on this) I would be really grateful for details, as the photos of the cemetary at I and C looks very overcrowded.
Thank you.*

It's the spelling of "cemetery" that gives it away!
( See "Line of Duty" plot).

What??...??????

You may have noticed that the username is different.
Also reading throught that thread no one has answered the question! So why are you referring to it???!!

Sorry, cemetery
It is a very common spelling mistake.

Really nasty messages here.

This is a genuine thread. If you can't answer the question, have some respect, go away.

You could ask Kensal Green? I did an event there and they were very helpful.

Brookwood is one of my favourite places, just to go for a wander and a picnic - it’s a beautiful place, full of both grand mausoleums in the older section, but also accepts new internments and woodland burials. It’s near Woking, but easily accessible: https://brookwoodcemetery.com

You might also find options you like here, if natural scatterings are something the family likes the idea of: https://www.poetic-endings.com/natural-burial-london

Thank you very much for this, I will have a look.

Thank you very much, will do so!

Beckenham might be another option.
