Yes. Fulham Cemetery, just off Fulham Palace Road, is a Victorian ground that has been in use since 1865 and is also known as Fulham Old Cemetery or Fulham Palace Road Cemetery. Its older limestone, sandstone and marble memorials weather and gather algae in a busy part of London. We clean them stone-safely, in line with the council’s rules.
About Fulham Cemetery
Fulham Cemetery opened in 1865 and was full by 1908, which is why Hammersmith & Fulham later opened North Sheen Cemetery. Sources disagree on whether new burials are still sold here; either way, the memorials stand and existing family graves are reopened. It is also known as Fulham Old Cemetery and Fulham Palace Road Cemetery — one site, three names.
Access: Administered by the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham, so memorial work follows council permission and the grave owner’s consent. The entrance is just off Fulham Palace Road. It appears in records under three names, so quote the section and grave number when enquiring.
