Crow Lane or Romford Cemetery was established by the Romford Burial Board in 1871 when space ran out in the parochial cemetery. It was taken over by Romford Urban District Council in 1900 and is now run by the South Essex Crematorium. It is partially enclosed by 19th-century railings, with [[ragstone]] gate-piers and two ragstone chapels joined by a [[Gothic Revival architecture|gothic]] [[porte-cochère]]. It contains utilitarian monuments, with older graves near the chapels. The trees in the cemetery include [[holly]], [[Cedrus|cedar]] and [[flowering cherry]], and rows of [[common lime tree|common lime]] and [[horse chestnut]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.parksandgardens.org/places/romford-cemetery |title=Romford Cemetery (also known as Crow Lane Cemetery) |date=2023 |publisher=parksandgardens.org |access-date=30 April 2023}}</ref> The cemetery contains the [[Commonwealth War Graves Commission|war graves]] of 118 identified Commonwealth service personnel of the First and Second World Wars.<ref>{{cite web|last=CWGC|title=Romford Cemetery {{!}} Cemetery Details|url=https://www.cwgc.org/visit-us/find-cemeteries-memorials/cemetery-details/38457/romford-cemetery/ |access-date=2023-09-19|website=CWGC|language=en}}</ref>
