Isleworth Cemetery 
Summary
Isleworth Cemetery is a cemetery in Isleworth, London Borough of Hounslow, in west London, England.
The cemetery is classified as full. The last formal burial service took place in the chapel building in the mid 1970s.
The chapel and mortuary buildings were closed in the early 1980s. Following a forty year period of neglect, the buildings have recently been extensively refurbished by Hounslow Men's Shed.
The chapels now operate as a community workshop as part of the UK Men's shed programme.
