Chilterns Crematorium on Whielden Lane, Amersham, sits just outside the M25 to the north-west. Memorials at a crematorium are usually plaques and small granite tablets rather than full headstones, and they green over, dull and lose the crispness of their lettering. We clean them gently, using stone-safe methods and working within the crematorium’s own rules.
About Chilterns Crematorium
Chilterns Crematorium stands on Whielden Lane in Amersham, run by the Chilterns Crematorium Joint Committee. It lies just beyond the M25 to the north-west and draws families from Watford, Hemel Hempstead and the Harrow and Hillingdon fringe of London, though its stated catchment is Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire rather than London itself.
Access: Run by the Chilterns Crematorium Joint Committee, which sets the rules for memorials on site — these are usually tighter than in a cemetery. It sits on Whielden Lane, Amersham, just outside the M25 north-west, at the edge of our area.

A single headstone clean starts from £75 and a full grave clean from £85, depending on stone type, condition and access. We always provide a free, no-obligation quote first.
How is cleaning a crematorium memorial different from cleaning a full grave?+
The memorial is usually a plaque or a small tablet rather than a headstone and kerb set, so the work is finer and quicker: lifting algae and rain grime from a small surface without harming the finish or any inlaid lettering. Because Chilterns Crematorium sets its own rules for what may be placed or altered, we check those before touching anything.
