North Sheen Cemetery, originally Fulham New Cemetery, is a large, active council cemetery opened in 1909 and run by Hammersmith & Fulham despite standing in Richmond. Across more than 30 acres you’ll find headstones from over a century of use, from weathered early-1900s stone to newer granite. We carry out stone-safe grave and headstone cleaning here, working within the operating council’s rules.
About North Sheen Cemetery (Fulham New Cemetery)
North Sheen Cemetery opened in 1909 as Fulham New Cemetery and covers over 30 acres opposite Mortlake Cemetery. It is owned and run by the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham, though physically within Richmond, and remains open for new burials. It holds 111 Commonwealth war graves and a memorial garden; its own chapel is out of use, with services held at Mortlake Cemetery’s chapel instead.
Access: Administered by the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham rather than Richmond, despite its Richmond location. Because its own chapel is out of use, funeral services here take place at the neighbouring Mortlake Cemetery chapel instead.
