SITE DETAILS

Fuller information:

Breakspear Crematorium was formally opened on 14 December 1957 by the Rt. Hon Earl of Verulam and was dedicated by the Lord Bishop of Willesden, the Rt. Revd G E Ingle. The more traditional East Chapel dates from 1957 and was designed by Dahl and Cadman. The circular West Chapel was added when the Crematorium expanded in 1972. This was opened on 30 June 1973 by Lord Greenwood of Rossendale, who was President of the Crematorium Society, and dedicated by the Archdeacon of Northolt. In 2008 a £4.2m investment programme commenced to improve the facilities, following agreement between Hillingdon and Harrow Councils, who jointly manage the cemetery. The proposed works include a new crematorium building, a new chapel/multi-purpose hall, increased car parking, waiting rooms and toilets, along with a cafeteria and covered flower terrace.
