Yes. Harrow Cemetery on Pinner Road is a Victorian ground still in use for cremated-remains graves, so its memorials range from weathered nineteenth-century stone to modern granite. Older limestone and marble tends to hold algae and darkened lettering. We clean graves and headstones there with stone-safe methods, following the London Borough of Harrow’s rules for memorial work.
About Harrow Cemetery
Harrow Cemetery on Pinner Road was founded by the Harrow Burial Board in 1887 and consecrated the following year. Its small single-storey red-brick chapel survives; the entrance lodge was demolished in 1985. It remains open, but for cremated-remains graves only — Harrow Council confirms there are no new full coffin plots anywhere in the borough.
Access: Administered by the London Borough of Harrow, so memorial work follows council permission and the grave owner’s consent. The entrance is on Pinner Road. Harrow Cemetery and Pinner New Cemetery are separate sites with different postcodes, so check which one holds your family grave.
