Visitors to Breakspear Crematorium have voiced outrage after the installation of new parking meters, which appear set to introduce parking charges at the site.
Photos circulating online show two parking meters covered in yellow wraps, indicating they are not yet active. It remains unclear when the new charges will come into effect, but concerns are already mounting among local residents and mourners.
One social media user described the move as “heartless,” questioning the decision to introduce fees at a place where people come to grieve and pay their respects. Others echoed the sentiment, calling for sensitivity towards visitors who are often dealing with significant emotional hardship.
Breakspear Crematorium, operated by the London Borough of Hillingdon, has yet to officially comment on the new parking arrangements or confirm the planned start date for enforcement.
Local residents and visitors are urged to check for further announcements before visiting the crematorium in the coming weeks.
