About Bandon Hill Cemetery
Bandon Hill Cemetery opened in Wallington in 1900, with its first interment on 7 March that year and its 30,000th reached in March 2006. It covers around 6.25 hectares with roughly 14,000 grave spaces, split between consecrated Church of England ground and unconsecrated general ground. It is genuinely joint: a committee of five Croydon members and four Sutton members meets twice a year to oversee it.
Access: Run jointly by Sutton and Croydon councils through a shared committee, so cemetery permissions follow standard council rules; the site is split between consecrated Church of England ground and unconsecrated general ground.
Permission: memorial work here is governed by the burial authority. In practice the registered grave owner’s consent is what we ask for, and we work to the site’s own memorial rules — see their memorial guidance, or our guide to who needs permission to clean a grave.
