Last updated 24 May 2026

Ealing cemetery fees

Current burial and cemetery fees for the London Borough of Ealing, valid from 1 April 2026. Cemetery services are managed by Greener Ealing on behalf of Ealing Council. Active burial sites include Acton Cemetery (Gunnersbury Avenue), South Ealing Cemetery, Greenford Park Cemetery, and Hortus Cemetery. Grave rights are granted for an initial period of 30 years.

Grave purchase and interment (combined fees)

Ealing’s fee structure combines the grave purchase (Exclusive Right of Burial for 30 years) and the first interment into a single all-in charge. Resident and non-resident rates apply based on the residency status of the deceased at the time of death.

About Ealing cemeteries

Greener Ealing manages four operational burial sites across the borough. Acton Cemetery (Gunnersbury Avenue, W3) has new grave plots available. Cremated remains plots are available at Greenford Park, South Ealing, Acton, and Hortus cemeteries. Muslim burial sections are available; Saturday Muslim burials incur an additional fee. The 30-year ERB is the standard term across all Ealing cemeteries.

Unlike many other London boroughs, Ealing’s published fee structure combines the grave purchase and first interment into a single charge, making direct comparisons with separate-fee councils less straightforward. The re-opening fees listed above represent the cost of subsequent interments into an existing purchased grave. Fees increased by approximately 3.8% from 2025/26.
