General information about this list

This list covers many municipal cemeteries and crematoria throughout Kent, including many of those that are now located in the Greater London area, such as cemeteries in Lewisham, Deptford and Greenwich.  This list is not exhaustive, however.

If you contact a cemetery or crematorium office please remember that the first duty of the staff in that office is to see to the current and daily activities taking place at that location.  As a whole, staff are generally very helpful.  Many offices do not require payment for genealogical searches whilst others do require payment before any search is undertaken.  So, you should also enquire about research fees before making your request.

If you have any additions or corrections for this list please email me directly with the information.  I realize that there are a few cemeteries for which I do not have opening dates.  If you know that information I would be grateful for your input.
