The North East Surrey Crematorium is a local service provided jointly by the Borough Councils of Merton, Sutton and Wandsworth.
The crematorium building has a chapel where the services are conducted and has a waiting area and car parking for visitors. Adjacent to the crematorium is the remembrance building that contains the book of remembrance, memorial vases and crystal plaques. All of our buildings and grounds are fully wheelchair accessible.

Our aim is to give you a caring and sympathetic service with the advice and support to arrange the funeral and memorials in a way which is meaningful to all concerned and staff are always available to answer any questions you may have.

Recycling of Metals
Through the ICCM we participate in the Recycling of Metals Scheme. The metals that remain after the cremation process, such as orthopaedic implants and coffin nails, are collected and sent for recycling by many crematoria across the country in a joint scheme. The money raised through this process is then paid out by the ICCM in the form of donations to bereavement based charities. The board have chosen six local charities to receive our nominations.
