Does anyone know anything about it? Have just found out that my great grandfather who has been a mystery to everyone since he left my Grandad as a child in 1920!!! Does anyone know if you had to live in the area to be buried there or can you choose where you are buried/cremated?

You can choose.........my father was buried in the family grave in a town many miles from where he was living at the time of his death. Reg

I am sure that you know that Golders Green was, and still is, a predominantly Jewish area - would this have any significance? OC

Not really. I managed to find that he was cremated at Golders Green from his mortury records at the Royal Free Hospital Archives in Hampstead. They say he was CofE. I'm hoping to phone Golders Green tomorrow and see if they can help me any further. H
