Yes. Havelock Cemetery in Southall is closed to new graves, but the ground is still maintained and families still visit. Its standing memorials weather in the usual ways — algae and lichen across marble and stone, lettering that has lost its contrast. We clean them gently, with stone-safe methods, under Ealing Council’s rules.
About Havelock Cemetery
A small Ealing Council burial ground off Church Avenue in Southall, also cited as Havelock Road. The council lists it as closed for new graves, but the memorials stand and the ground continues to be maintained and visited by Southall families — which is exactly where quiet, regular upkeep matters most.
Access: Owned by the London Borough of Ealing and closed to new burials, so there is no on-site office; permission for memorial work comes from the council’s bereavement service. Access is on foot from Church Avenue.
- Administered by
- London Borough of Ealing
Permission: memorial work here is governed by London Borough of Ealing. In practice the registered grave owner’s consent is what we ask for, and we work to the site’s own memorial rules — see their memorial guidance, or our guide to who needs permission to clean a grave.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I have a grave cleaned at Havelock Cemetery?+
Yes. We provide professional, stone-safe grave and headstone cleaning at Havelock Cemetery, following the cemetery’s regulations. Just give us the section and grave reference and we’ll do the rest.
Do I need to be present?+
No. We only need the cemetery name and plot reference. We send before-and-after photographs and a short report when the work is done.
How much does grave cleaning at Havelock Cemetery cost?+
A single headstone clean starts from £75 and a full grave clean from £85, depending on stone type, condition and access. We always provide a free, no-obligation quote first.
If the cemetery is closed, is anyone still looking after it?+
Closed only means that no new graves are sold. Ealing Council still maintains the grounds, and families still visit and tend individual memorials. What tends to happen at a closed cemetery is that general grass-cutting continues while individual stones get less attention year on year, which is where a regular clean makes the difference.
