Merton and Sutton Joint Cemetery on Garth Road, Morden, is a large multi-faith council cemetery jointly run by the two boroughs. Its various sections weather differently, from soot-stained mid-century headstones to newer polished granite that mainly needs algae and pollution grime removed. We carry out stone-safe grave and headstone cleaning here, respecting the different faith sections and each council’s cemetery rules.
About Merton & Sutton Joint Cemetery (Garth Road)
Opened in 1947, Garth Road cemetery is jointly run by the London Boroughs of Merton and Sutton and covers about twenty acres. It is one of the most multi-faith burial grounds in the area, with sections serving Church of England, Roman Catholic, Muslim, Ahmadiyya Muslim, African Caribbean, Jewish, non-conformist and humanist burials.
Access: Garth Road is jointly administered by Merton and Sutton councils, so memorial work must follow both authorities’ cemetery rules. As a multi-faith site, we take care to work within the customs of whichever section a grave sits in, including Muslim, Jewish and Catholic areas.
