Grave concerns regarding Teddington Cemetery expansion plans

Richmond Council’s proposal to extend Teddington Cemetery into neighbouring allotments has sparked local debate. While many residents wish to protect valued green space, the council faces growing pressure to create more burial space in London — a challenge affecting cemeteries across the capital.

Our latest article explores both sides of the discussion and looks at how changing burial laws could shape the future of local cemeteries.

Direct Cremation.

It’s a rapidly growing alternative to a funeral that is now heavily marketed across mainstream and social media.

At the GFG we want to understand more about what this means, and we have created a questionnaire which is gathering thoughts and experiences of people who have experienced someone close to them choosing to not have a funeral.

We’d love all our followers to help spread the word about this and encourage people to share their thoughts with us. The questionnaire can be reached from the GFG Direct Cremation page here: https://www.goodfuneralguide.co.uk/direct-cremation/

We are delighted to be working alongside many individuals and organisations from across the sector as we explore this emerging change in the funeral landscape, including .uk

Do please help us get a real picture of the experiences of real people, rather than the clever marketing messages that so many of us are familiar with from daytime tv!
