The London Necropolis Company (LNC), formally the London Necropolis & National Mausoleum Company until 1927, was a cemetery operator established by Act of Parliament in 1852 in reaction to the crisis caused by the closure of London's graveyards in 1851. The LNC intended to establish a single cemetery large enough to accommodate all of London's future burials in perpetuity. The company's founders recognised that the recently invented technology of the railway provided the ability to conduct burials a long distance from populated areas, mitigating concerns over public health risks from living near burial sites. Accordingly, the company bought a very large tract of land in Brookwood, Surrey, around 25 miles (40 km) from London, and converted a portion of it into Brookwood Cemetery. A dedicate

  • London Necropolis Company (LNC) formalmente conocida como London Necropolis & National Mausoleum Company, fue una operadora de cementerios hasta 1972. Fue establecida por la ley parlamentaria de 1852, como resultado de una crisis causada por la clausura del cementerio London's Graveyards en 1851. La LNC trató de crear un único cementerio lo suficientemente grande para acomodar, en el futuro, a todos los restos fúnebres de Londres. (es)
