Burial History in Croydon
Queen's Road Cemetery in central Croydon, opened in 1876, was established to serve what was then Surrey's largest town — Croydon was not absorbed into Greater London until 1965, and its Victorian burial provision reflects the ambitions of a prosperous, independently minded market town. Mitcham Road Cemetery was added to serve the extended borough's southern communities. Several parish churchyards in the borough, particularly those in Coulsdon and Addington, contain medieval grave markers and family vaults that pre-date Victorian cemetery reform by centuries.
