Yes. Greenlawn Memorial Park at Warlingham is a lawn cemetery, so most memorials are flat granite or bronze tablets set level with the turf rather than upright headstones. They collect mown grass, soil splash and creeping turf along the edges. We ease the growth back, clean the tablet with stone-safe methods and work to the council’s rules.
About Greenlawn Memorial Park
Greenlawn Memorial Park has been owned by Croydon since 1948 and sits on Chelsham Road, Warlingham — just outside Greater London but inside the M25. It is now Croydon’s main source of new graves, laid out in the American lawn style with flat tablets, and has a separate rest park for cremated remains.
Access: Administered by the London Borough of Croydon’s cemeteries and crematorium service, with its own site telephone (01883 624484). Memorial work follows council rules, and the lawn layout means tablets sit at ground level among mown grass.

In practice the registered grave owner’s consent is what we ask for, and we work to the site’s own memorial rules — see their memorial guidance, or our guide to who needs permission to clean a grave.

How much does grave cleaning at Greenlawn Memorial Park cost?+
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.
The memorial is a flat tablet in the grass — can that still be cleaned?+
Yes, and here it is the more common job. Greenlawn is a lawn cemetery, so tablets sit flush with the turf and take grass clippings, soil splash and slow encroachment from the edges of the lawn. We ease the turf back to the tablet’s edge, clean the face gently and make the lettering readable again.
