Camberwell New Cemetery

In the forty years since both my parents died I had never visited their grave and although I had the minimum of information to go on I rang the cemetery in the hope of finding them. I cannot praise the help I received from the lady I spoke to (Nichol) highly enough. She not only supplied me with reference numbers but also plot numbers and, being even more helpful, sent me a map of the cemetery with the plot numbers marked on it. In this day and age I do not expect (or usually get) this kind of caring service. As I had to travel some distance to the cemetery I cannot thank Nichol enough as it made my trip so much easier.

this is a lovely place so peaceful my mum & dad are buried here

Before we arrived here today we phoned the office as we wanted to find our family member today. We went into the office on the right hand side (of the main entrance) and a kind lady printed out a map for the grave but because we were not very specific we were given the grave number of the other family members.We then called the office and to cut a long story short we had a look around for about an hour and rung the office 1 minute before they closed. A nice boy answered the phone and came out on his bike several times (bless him) and showed us specifically where our family members grave was. We had a good conversation with him and found him very helpful! And even gave us a map!A very quiet cemetery. It's sad to see that not many people visit these deserted graves. All I ever see are those that walk their dogs or joggers passing through.They have a playground area for the kids to play.There is also a view of houses and the countryside in the distance.

It's alright and fit for purpose, but its not as good as Camberwell Old Cemetery.Tried to have a look round but it was full.

Today myself and my husband went to attend the funeral of one of my husbands best friends. Problems... Not very good sighs directing to the crematorium. Very long walk from the parking. I am recently disabled and I was very distressed when we had to wait for someone to open a gate a locked gate so we could get closer to the crematorium.Then I looked at the stairs up to the crematorium there was no way I could walk or crawl up them. Where are the directions to enter the crematorium. The long and short of this is we missed the funeral. I very nice man eventually unlocked the gate so my husband could drive in to pick me up before I collapsed. I had to go straight to bed when we got home and tomorrow I have got to phone the widow and apologize for not being there.

Quite well maintained little green spot. Road noise stops it from being tranquil

Went on a saturday to visit my parents grave travelling 3hrs, and in desperate need of the toilet, all were locked I have a need to use a disabled toilet and this was double locked, with no one around to assist me, I went to visit my parents grave, but my time there was spoilt because I could not access a toilet, the grounds were impeccable but the need for access to a toilet is essential. So sad this marred my visit.

Beautiful, green and well-kept cemetery between Forest Hill and Brockley
