Institutions Using Brookwood Cemetery

List of Institutions, Guilds and Similar Organisations Known to Have Used Brookwood Cemetery



This list is based on my ongoing research into Brookwood Cemetery. It contains the names of over sixty institutions that are known to have used Brookwood Cemetery for burials. The list is not necessarily exhaustive, but I believe it to be fairly comprehensive.


The London Necropolis Company encouraged guilds and institutions to use its cemetery so that those who had been united in life would not be separated in death.


Often separate areas were set aside for these organisations. However, institutions such as hospitals, workhouses and prisons, which largely used the cemetery for the burial of the poor, or otherwise unclaimed bodies, used Brookwood without designated areas being allocated.


There is a similar page for churches known to have used Brookwood Cemetery.


The list will be updated and amended as necessary. If you are aware of any errors or omissions, then please feel free to contact me.
