Arranging a funeral in Erith
Erith and Northumberland Heath are served by a mix of independents, a Co-op branch and fixed-price online arrangers, which makes it one of the few parts of the borough where a family can compare a traditional high-street firm against a direct-cremation specialist without leaving the district. Erith is also the far end of the borough from the crematorium, so ask how the journey is charged.
Families using a funeral director in Erith also commonly come from Northumberland Heath, Slade Green, Belvedere, Barnehurst. Erith Cemetery on Brook Street is the local council burial ground; Hillview Cemetery is the only Bexley cemetery still open for new earthen graves.
