West London Crematorium (Kensal Green)
The crematorium offers two chapels for cremation or memorial services, the East Chapel and the West Chapel. The East Chapel has been recently restored and is furnished traditionally with oak pews, wood panelling, and an Art Deco marble catafalque. It has a new music system called Obitus and a traditional organ. The West Chapel has a more contemporary style and seats up to 90 people with a light oak catafalque and descending curtains. Both chapels have a fixed microphone for celebrants and contributors to use.
Additional services such as webcast services and floral tributes are also available for an extra fee. Services last 45 minutes for a single slot or 90 minutes for a double slot, and there are two 30-minute slots available at a lower rate for up to 25 people.
Please remember: you need to book an appointment at the West London Crematorium (Kensal Green) in order to discuss your plans. We’d be happy to help you do this, so feel free to get in touch with one of our personal advisers.
