After World War II another wing was added to the memorial on which are commemorated the names of 123 personnel who died during that conflict and were cremated at the South London Crematorium, which is situated within the cemetery.

Chapel can accommodate larger funerals and offers a service time of 45 minutes, which is longer than many other crematoria.

Famous names to have been buried here include the internationally renowned singer, Dorothy Squires, comedian Tom Costello and music hall performer Harry Paulo.

The majority of burials here are those of Ashkenazi Jews of eastern European origin who settled in the Soho area of London working as tailors, cabinetmakers, shopkeepers, etc.

A small section of Streatham Park Cemetery is reserved for members of the South London Liberal Synagogue.
