Memorial Care Specialists
The Memorial Guardian Team
The specialists who care for graves and headstones across all 32 London boroughs, and who write the Journal guides bylined to the team rather than one individual.
About the Team
Memorial Guardian London's field work is carried out by a team of trained specialists, not a single person — covering every London borough, every cemetery type, and every memorial stone from hard polished granite to soft, fragile marble.
Where a Journal article draws on that shared, day-to-day field experience rather than one individual's, it's bylined to the team as a whole. Articles written by a specific specialist — such as Dom Deacon — carry that person's own name instead.
Every article, whoever it's credited to, is written from direct professional experience of the cemeteries, stone types and family circumstances described — never from theory alone.
