Hendon Cemetery and Crematorium is a cemetery and crematorium in north London, on Holders Hill Road between Mill Hill East tube station and the Great North Way. Originally developed by the Abney Park Cemetery Company Ltd; the cemetery opened in 1899; and the crematorium was added in 1922.[1] It is in the London Borough of Barnet, which now runs it, and contains Muslim, Japanese, Greek Orthodox and Commonwealth War Graves Commission sections.[2]
