Like a number of London boroughs, Tower Hamlets does not have burial or crematorium facilities within the borough. This has been the case for several decades and is not a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, funeral directors will continue to support families who have lost a relative to discuss the various options including available locations for the funeral of their loved ones.
In additional to a number of locations across London, Tower Hamlets residents do have the opportunity to use Kemnal Park cemetery, where the council has a number of burial spaces available with the option for additional plots if needed.
