Arranging a cremation
About the Crematorium
Honor Oak Crematorium is situated in Camberwell New Cemetery and is the only crematorium in Southwark.
It was opened in 1939 by Lord Horder and designed by the borough architects, William Bell and Maurice Webb. Maurice was the son of Sir Aston Webb, whose company designed Camberwell New Cemetery.
The crematorium is in the Italianate style, with its chimney resembling the Cathedral Campanile at Venice. The building is also noted for its beautiful stained glass window and is listed with a Grade II heritage status. During 2018 significant works were conducted to refurbish and restore the facilities to a high standard.
The Crematorium offers a columbarium and cloisters to the South and is set within 6 acres of landscaped grounds. The Gardens of Remembrance provide a tranquil space to reflect and remember loved ones. Our gardens are home to many memorials, rose beds, trees, woodland and shrubberies, and to Little Haven, our dedicated children and baby memorial garden.
