Children's sections

There are specific areas for the burial of children in Richmond, Teddington and Twickenham cemeteries. If you would like to have a family grave you may like to consider a plot in our traditional or lawn sections. A child's grave is a smaller version of an adult's traditional grave. On the children's section, you may choose to have a memorial. There are different types of memorials available: you can have either a headstone / a headstone with kerbs / or you may plant the grave space.

There are support groups available which offer advice for bereaved parents and their families, however long ago the death occurred, and in all circumstances, whether before birth or after.
