Morden Cemetery, also known as Battersea New Cemetery, is a cemetery in the Lower Morden area of the town of Morden within the London Borough of Merton, London, England. It opened on 17 March 1891. A crematorium in Morden Cemetery, North East Surrey Crematorium, is located near an area of the cemetery called the Gardens of Remembrance.[1] The crematorium opened in 1958.

In December, then-Home Secretary Henry Matthews, 1st Viscount Llandaff approved the purchase.[3] Morden Cemetery opened on 17 March 1891.[4] In 1958, a crematorium, North East Surrey Crematorium, opened in the cemetery.[5]
