Yes. Chislehurst Cemetery on Beaverwood Road is one of Bromley’s seven council cemeteries, effectively closed to new graves since only Biggin Hill and St Mary Cray still take new burials, so its existing memorials are still visited and cared for. We carry out gentle, stone-safe grave and headstone cleaning here, within the council’s rules.
About Chislehurst Cemetery
Chislehurst Cemetery, on Beaverwood Road, is one of Bromley’s seven council cemeteries. Only Biggin Hill and St Mary Cray remain open for new burials, so Chislehurst is effectively closed to new graves, though its existing memorials stand and continue to be visited. It should not be confused with the newer Kemnal Park a mile away on the Sidcup Bypass.
Access: Chislehurst Cemetery is administered by Bromley Council, with grounds maintenance by idverde UK. As an effectively closed site, memorial and headstone work is limited to existing graves and follows the council’s standard cemetery rules.
