ELTHAM CREMATORIUM
The Crematorium situated in the grounds adjoining Eltham
Cemetery, is administered by the Woolwich, Greenwich, and Northwest
Kent Joint Crematorium Committee, which comprises the Boroughs
of Woolwich, Greenwich, Bexley, Dartford, Erith, and Gravesend, and
the Urban Districts of Chislehurst and Sidcup, and Crayford.
The Crematorium was opened in August, 1956. The number of
cremations taking place at this Crematorium during 1961 totalled
2,665, being 304 more than the previous year, and the highest number
of cremations at any Crematorium in South-East London.
BURIALS AND CREMATIONS
During the year arrangements were made by the Department for
the burial of four persons who had died in the Borough, where no
other suitable arrangements were being made for their burial. All
these persons were elderly.
The Council's expenses amounted to £51, of which £27 was
recovered from the Estates of the deceased persons.
