Edgwarebury Cemetery

Edgwarebury Joint Burial Board manages Edgwarebury Cemetery with a commitment to dignity, respect and equal representation for all its four owning communities: the S&P Sephardi Community, West London Synagogue, Liberal Judaism and Belsize Square Synagogue.

The cemetery was established under a trust dated 25 July 1972, with the burial grounds subsequently registered at HM Land Registry. The first burial took place on 14 December 1975 in the West London Synagogue section. In December 2010, additional burial land was acquired on the east side of Clay Lane, with 1.8 acres designated for Belsize Square Synagogue and the remaining land shared equally between the other owning communities.

Our prayer hall (Ohel), refurbished in 2017, provides seating for up to 100 people, with additional standing space for approximately 80. The hall includes double-glazed windows, modern internal and external sound systems, and a hearing loop. A clearly signposted Kohanim room is located directly behind the prayer hall.

A minibus is available to assist visitors who may find it difficult to walk from the prayer hall to the burial grounds. The service can accommodate up to eight passengers and is available for funerals and stone settings, except for sections located close to the prayer hall.

We understand that visiting a cemetery can be an emotional and difficult experience. The Edgwarebury team is committed to providing a compassionate, supportive, and respectful service to all families and visitors.
