STEEPED IN HISTORY

Situated within the historic grounds of Golders Green Crematorium, Bedford Chapel forms part of one of London’s most significant and peaceful memorial landscapes. The crematorium, opened in 1902, was the first in London and has long been known for its beautiful gardens, tranquil surroundings and thoughtful approach to remembrance.
An addition to the grounds in 1911, the smaller very intimate Bedford Chapel was funded by the Duke of Bedford, originally designed for infant ceremony.

Today, Bedford Chapel offers a quiet and reflective setting where families can gather, remember and honour their loved one in a way that feels personal and meaningful.
