Edmonton Cemetery on Church Street, Edmonton, is a London Borough of Enfield council cemetery — not a Jewish cemetery, despite sometimes being listed as one online. Opened in 1886, it has typical Victorian and twentieth-century headstones that can weather, lean or gather lichen over the decades. Memorial Guardian London cleans these by hand using stone-safe methods and works within the council’s cemetery rules.
About Edmonton Cemetery
Edmonton Cemetery was established by the Edmonton Burial Board on former Church Commissioners land that had previously been used as an airfield, and opened in 1886. It is known for its wrought-iron entrance gates with a sunflower motif set on Portland stone piers. It is a general council cemetery, run by the London Borough of Enfield.
Access: The cemetery is run by the London Borough of Enfield. As with most council grounds, memorial work generally needs to follow the council’s own rules, which are worth checking before work begins.

Is Edmonton Cemetery the same as Edmonton Jewish Cemetery?+
No. Edmonton Cemetery on Church Street is a general council cemetery run by the London Borough of Enfield, though it is sometimes wrongly listed online as a Jewish cemetery. The Jewish burial grounds are two separate cemeteries on Montagu Road, N18, including Edmonton Federation Cemetery — if your relative’s grave is Jewish, it is very likely on Montagu Road rather than here.
