The London Necropolis Railway was a railway line that operated from 1854 to 1941, transporting corpses and mourners from London to Brookwood Cemetery in Surrey, which was designed to accommodate the city’s burial needs. It was notable for its dedicated service for funerals and the segregation of passengers based on class and religion. The railway mostly ran along the existing tracks of the London and South Western Railway (LSWR) but had its own branches from the main line at both London and Brookwood with a dedicated station in Waterloo, London.
