Yes — Croydon Crematorium on Mitcham Road shares its site with Mitcham Road Cemetery, and its memorials sit in the gardens of remembrance and the hall rather than in a traditional grave row. Plaques and granite tablets there pick up algae, lichen and rain-splash staining. We clean them gently, using stone-safe methods and following the council’s rules for memorial work.
About Croydon Crematorium
Croydon Crematorium was built in 1937 and extended in 1962, and stands on the same Mitcham Road campus as Croydon Cemetery. It has gardens of remembrance for the scattering of ashes, along with memorials in the hall and gardens that families can arrange even when the service itself was held elsewhere.
Access: Run by the London Borough of Croydon’s cemeteries and crematorium service, which shares an office and address with Mitcham Road Cemetery. Memorial work in the gardens and hall follows council permission.
