Streatham Cemetery on Garratt Lane in Tooting is a lawn cemetery run by Lambeth Council, though it stands physically within Wandsworth. Alongside its lawn graves, some fine older monuments can weather and gather grime over time. We carry out stone-safe grave and headstone cleaning here, working within the cemetery’s own rules, which allow services of any denomination.
About Streatham Cemetery
Streatham Cemetery is a lawn cemetery on Garratt Lane in Tooting, owned and run by the London Borough of Lambeth despite standing physically in Wandsworth. It holds some fine older monuments alongside more recent lawn graves, and services of any denomination can be held there.
Access: Administered by Lambeth Bereavement Services rather than Wandsworth, despite the cemetery’s location. Should not be confused with the separate Streatham Park Cemetery on Rowan Road, which is privately run and unrelated.
