Kensal Green Cemetery, London

By the beginning of the 19th century, the business of burying the dead in London had become intolerable. The crypts under most churches together with their churchyards and other burial sites, were full to bursting, and the situation had also become a health hazard.
In 1825, George Frederick Carden had the idea for the establishment of public cemeteries away from the centre of London, and later petitioned the government for the establishment of these. He established the General Cemetery Company in 1830, and the first of what was to become the 'Magnificent Seven' cemeteries, was opened in 1832 at Kensal Green. The General Cemetery Company still owns and manages this cemetery, which covers 72 acres.
Many famous names are buried here, and in 1939, a crematorium was opened, again with many well known names making their last journey to here.
