Our Coverage in Waltham Forest
Serving all of Waltham Forest including Walthamstow, Chingford, Leyton, Leytonstone and Highams Park.
Burial History in Waltham Forest
Chingford Mount Cemetery, opened in 1884, serves an area where human settlement stretches back to the Bronze Age — the nearby Epping Forest was a royal hunting ground used by Tudor monarchs including Henry VIII. St Patrick's Catholic Cemetery in Leytonstone has long served the borough's Catholic community, its headstones reflecting the same craftsmanship traditions found across Waltham Forest's burial grounds. The borough's cemeteries together chart the dramatic suburban expansion that followed the Great Eastern Railway's arrival in the 1870s, which transformed Walthamstow and Leyton from Essex villages into London districts within a single generation.
