Yes. Bexleyheath Cemetery is one of Bexley Council’s four municipal cemeteries on Banks Lane, with Victorian and inter-war headstones that often show algae, lichen and general soiling. We carry out grave and headstone cleaning here using gentle, stone-safe methods, working within the council’s rules for family graves and memorial plots.
About Bexleyheath Cemetery
Bexleyheath Cemetery on Banks Lane is one of Bexley Council’s four municipal cemeteries, opened in 1879. It closed to new full burials some time ago, but interments continue in existing family graves and cremated-remains plots, so its Victorian and inter-war headstones remain in regular use and are visited by families.
Access: Bexley Council’s Cemeteries Service administers the site. As a municipal cemetery with limited new burial space, memorial work in existing family plots and cremated-remains areas follows the council’s standard cemetery rules.
