At present the four Cemeteries receive some 1,500 interments per annum and provide
contract maintenance for the planting and tidying of approximately 3,500 graves.
At the present rate of progress it is estimated that new burial land will be required in
some 15 - 20 years. Perhaps by that time the public will be even less opposed to cremation than
they are today. The local figures for cremation in comparison with earth burials show a percentage
more or less the same as the national average. The London Borough of Hammersmith, in
association with some other West London Boroughs, provide a Crematorium adjacent to Hammersmith
Cemetery, Mortlake.
