East Sheen Cemetery, opened in 1906, is an active council cemetery administered together with the neighbouring Richmond Cemetery on Sheen Road. Its older memorials can show the soot and algae staining typical of early twentieth-century stone, while newer granite markers usually just need routine soiling removed. We carry out stone-safe grave and headstone cleaning here, following Richmond council’s rules for the site.
About East Sheen Cemetery
East Sheen Cemetery opened in 1906 immediately north of Richmond Cemetery, and the two are administered together. Its chapel — used for burials at both sites and open to all faiths, with wheelchair access and an induction loop — sits on Sheen Road under the TW10 postcode, despite the East Sheen name.
Access: Administered by the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames alongside neighbouring Richmond Cemetery. The postal address is Richmond TW10, not East Sheen SW14, which can trip up online searches — check you have the right site before visiting.
