West Drayton Cemetery on Harmondsworth Road is a London Borough of Hillingdon council cemetery with a dedicated Muslim section, laid out with concrete beams so full headstones can be installed. It also includes a woodland burial area at the back of the site, where memorialisation is deliberately minimal. Memorial Guardian London’s cleaning is stone-safe and follows the council’s rules for whichever part of the cemetery a grave is in.
About West Drayton Cemetery
West Drayton Cemetery on Harmondsworth Road holds a Green Flag Award and includes a dedicated Muslim-only section, with a team trained in Islamic burial requirements. It is laid out with concrete beams so full headstones can be installed, unlike some other west London Muslim sections. A hedged woodland burial area sits at the back of the site, and the Yiewsley and West Drayton war memorial stands outside the gates.
Access: The cemetery is run by the London Borough of Hillingdon. Weekend and bank-holiday burials have been available here since January 2026, and memorial work follows the council’s own cemetery rules.

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.
Is the woodland burial ground a separate cemetery from West Drayton Cemetery?+
No. The woodland burial ground sits at the back of West Drayton Cemetery on Harmondsworth Road and is run by the same council team, not as a separate site. Because memorialisation there is deliberately minimal, with few conventional headstones, most memorial cleaning work at this location happens in the main cemetery and its Muslim section rather than the woodland area.
