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]
