Mortlake Crematorium, Grade II listed crematorium in Kew, England.
The crematorium sits along the River Thames near Chiswick Bridge, featuring Italian-style architecture with distinct Art Deco elements and detailed brick cloister work.
Built between 1936 and 1939 at a cost of £27,000, this facility became the first crematorium established under its own Act of Parliament.
The crematorium houses a daybook of commemoration with illuminated handwritten volumes, accessible through digital kiosks and the facility website.
The facility serves four London boroughs: Ealing, Hammersmith & Fulham, Hounslow, and Richmond upon Thames, with management from elected council representatives.
A memorial garden dedicated to children, created in 2015, draws inspiration from the narrative 'Water Bugs and Dragonflies' by Doris Stickley.
