London Necropolis CompanyThe London Necropolis Company, also London Necropolis & National Mausoleum Company, was set up in 1850, and established by Act of Parliament in 1852. Its purpose was to create a large metropolitan cemetery, big enough to hold all of London's dead forever. Brookwood Cemetery was set up at Brookwood near Woking, and by 1854 it was the largest cemetery in the world. The London Necropolis Company was dissolved around 1975, and the cemetery has been administered privately since. External links *Brookwood Cemetery History
