About Islington and Camden cemeteries

ICCS manages four sites across north London. Islington and St Pancras Cemetery (East Finchley) is the main burial site, offering classic, traditional, woodland, and front lawn grave options. Trent Park Cemetery (Cockfosters) offers a more naturalistic setting. All grave rights are issued for 60 years and can be extended on request.

New grave purchases are only facilitated for families arranging a funeral service at the time of need. Pre-purchase outside of an active funeral arrangement is not available.

Proof of residency (utility bill or bank statement within 3 months, or current Council Tax bill) is required at time of booking to receive the resident rate.
