Grief Café

The first Saturday of each month 2.00pm – 3.30pm

Mortlake Crematorium in partnership with the Good Grief Trust hold a pop up Café the first Saturday of each month at Mortlake Crematorium between 2.00pm & 3.30pm in the waiting room or outside if the weather is warm enough.

The purpose of the Good Grief Pop Up Café is to offer an umbrella of support in local communities and raise awareness of the Good Grief Trust online database which unite bereavement services across the country.

You are welcome to walk around our beautiful grounds, have a soft drink and cake and chat to our volunteers and others.

It is hoped that it is a way to connect grieving people with their local communities.  By sharing stories and meeting and talking to others, we can hopefully help each other find a way forward.

Volunteers kindly make cakes and if there any are left over we will be taking them to vulnerable people in the community.

If you have a food allergy please let us know so we can have drinks and snacks available which are suitable.

Summer Proms – Ealing Wind Orchestra

Join us for an uplifting Summer Proms raising funds for Meadow House Hospice, held at Mortlake Crematorium — live music and good vibes!

This special event invites you to relax and enjoy a wonderful mix of live music provided by the talented Ealing Wind Orchestra conducted by David Gordon-Shute, from much-loved classical pieces to uplifting modern favourites.

Surrounded by friends, family, and the gentle charm of a summer evening, it promises to be a truly memorable experience for everyone.

A highlight of the evening will be a performance from the Melody Misfits Choir, who will not only entertain but also invite everyone to join in for a shared musical moment — a chance to come together in song and celebration.

There will also be an exciting raffle on the night, offering some fantastic prizes including Richmond Theatre tickets, Harry Potter Theatre tickets, hampers, vouchers and more.

For those looking to enjoy delicious food, freshly prepared authentic paella by The Tapestry will be available.

Guests are welcome to bring along blankets, camping chairs and picnics, settle in comfortably in our beautiful gardens. Children can attend free when accompanied by a responsible adult, making it a perfect event for families as well.

Most importantly, every entry and raffle ticket sale helps support Meadow House Hospice, whose dedicated team provides specialist palliative and end-of-life care to people living in the boroughs of Ealing and Hounslow. By attending, you are not only enjoying a beautiful evening but also contributing to a deeply meaningful cause.

Join us for a night of music, community, and summer joy . We look forward to welcoming you.
