Chorleywood Lawn Cemetery is situated on the Rickmansworth Road alongside the Parish Office at South Lodge. Inaugurated shortly after World War II by Chorleywood Urban District Council and at the time it was regarded as a very advanced idea, combining large areas of well cut grass with flowers, ornamental hedges and trees. The Lawn Cemetery has been tended with care ever since and is possibly one of the most beautiful last resting places in Hertfordshire. The Bishop of St Albans consecrated an attractive extension in 1996 which virtually doubled the size of the original area. Many seats have been donated for visitors who can enjoy this peaceful green oasis far from the noisy world outside.
