Kingston Cemetery & Crematorium on Bonner Hill Road is Kingston upon Thames’ main council burial ground, dating from 1855. Many of its older lawn and traditional-section headstones have weathered stone that has darkened with algae and lichen over the decades. We carry out grave and headstone cleaning here that is stone-safe and follows the council’s cemetery regulations for permitted memorial work.
About Kingston Cemetery & Crematorium (Bonner Hill)
Kingston Cemetery & Crematorium opened on Bonner Hill Road in 1855 as the borough’s Victorian municipal burial ground, with a crematorium added in the 1950s. Its twin Gothic mortuary chapels are listed buildings. The grounds include lawn and traditional sections, Private Gardens and Rose Walk graves, bounded to the south by the Hogsmill River.
Access: Run by the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames; memorial work must follow the council’s 2025 cemetery regulations, which set different rules for lawn, traditional, Private Garden and Rose Walk sections. The listed mortuary chapels are heritage-sensitive.
Permission: memorial work here is governed by the burial authority. 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.
