Funeral Flowers for Hendon Crematorium
Between Hendon and Mill Hill, on Holders Hill Road, Barnet Council runs Hendon Crematorium side by side with Hendon Cemetery, and the two together form one of the borough's principal funeral sites.
Funerals here bring mourners from Hendon, Mill Hill, Finchley, Edgware and Golders Green, and also from Harrow and the neighbouring boroughs, for whom the journey by car is generally twenty minutes or so.
Quiet, mature grounds and adjoining gardens of remembrance frame the chapel, and the following notes deal with the flowers, ordering them, having them delivered, and seeing them after the service.
Flower Policy
Sprays made for the coffin, wreaths, posy pads, sheaves and lettered work are all delivered to Hendon routinely, and they arrive before the funeral party does, on a schedule the florist agrees with the venue or funeral director so that nothing falls to the family to chase.
Once the chapel empties after the committal, the tributes are positioned for mourners to walk past and read; a request to keep flowers, or to pass them on as a donation, belongs with the funeral director well before the day.
Delivery Guidance
Three pieces of information steer an order to the right funeral: the complete name of the person the funeral is for, the date and start time, and the venue given as Hendon Crematorium, Holders Hill Road, London NW7, with the funeral director's name added if you have it, which helps staff match tribute to service.
For shops in Hendon, Mill Hill, Finchley and Edgware this is routine territory, and Harrow florists cover the venue often; ordering from a distance, choose a florist near Holders Hill Road rather than near home.
Total peace of mind comes from sending the flowers to the funeral home the previous day, so they make the journey with the coffin.
