Yes. Wood Green Cemetery on Wolves Lane is Haringey’s newest cemetery, so its memorials are modern granite rather than Victorian stone. That usually means algae and general grime on polished faces, and lettering that needs re-gilding rather than repair. We clean graves and headstones there with stone-safe methods, working to Haringey’s rules for memorial work.
About Wood Green Cemetery (Wolves Lane)
Opened in 1996 on Wolves Lane, and sometimes called Wolves Lane Cemetery, this is Haringey’s newest burial ground and has held Green Flag accreditation continuously since 2009. It is closed for traditional burials but burial vaults are still available, so it remains in use. It has a dedicated Muslim section, the only such provision in the borough.
Access: Owned by Haringey and operated by Dignity Funerals Ltd, so memorial permissions come through them. Memorial stock is entirely post-1996, which keeps work to routine cleaning and re-gilding. The dedicated Muslim section is treated with the customs families expect.
