Traditional graves
Traditional graves allow for a full kerb set (a headstone with a stone surround) alongside personalised memorial designs. A classic and enduring choice that can be tailored to reflect the individuality of your loved one.
Streatham Park Cemetery
Streatham Park was laid out in the early twentieth century, next to South London Crematorium. The avenues are lined with trees and the burial spaces sit among them rather than in rows apart, which makes the grounds feel more like a park than a cemetery. Families have been coming here for more than a hundred years. Our funeral directors in Streatham can help you arrange a burial here.

What to expect at a burial
Attending a burial
A burial usually takes place at a cemetery or churchyard, either as part of a service that starts elsewhere or as the main ceremony itself. Guests gather at the graveside, where a celebrant, faith leader, or family member leads a short service. This might include readings, prayers, music, or a few words of reflection before the coffin is lowered into the ground. Some families invite those attending to place a flower, a handful of earth, or another small, meaningful gesture into the grave.
What to wear
Most people wear black or dark clothing but this isn’t a rule. Some families ask guests to wear a particular colour or something that meant a lot to the person who has died, like a favourite team’s shirt. They may also just want people to wear whatever they’re comfortable in. If you’ve been invited and you’re not sure, ask the family.
After the ceremony
Once the burial is over, guests are often invited to join the family nearby for refreshments and time together, sometimes called a wake or a reception. It's a chance to share memories, offer your condolences, and support one another.

Rated 5 / 5
South London Crematorium, in the heart of the South West London community, is a large, clean, well-maintained, and well-managed facility offering a range of important services. It provides a respectful and peaceful environment for families to pay their final respects to their loved ones. My sincere thoughts and deepest respect go to everyone resting here. May they all rest in peace, and may their families find comfort and peace during difficult times.
