Hampstead Cemetery on Fortune Green Road is a Victorian municipal cemetery with unusually fine monument stock — eighteen of its memorials are listed. Its older limestone, sandstone and marble weathers, blackens and grows lichen. We carry out careful grave and headstone cleaning there, using stone-safe methods and working within the memorial rules run by Islington & Camden Cemetery Services.
About Hampstead Cemetery
Opened in 1876, Hampstead Cemetery is a Camden council cemetery on Fortune Green Road, managed by Islington & Camden Cemetery Services. It holds eighteen listed monuments — more than any comparable municipal cemetery in London bar a handful — and paired Grade II-listed Gothic mortuary chapels sharing a porte-cochère. New full graves have effectively run out, but interment of cremated remains continues.
Access: Managed for the London Borough of Camden by Islington & Camden Cemetery Services, which runs a live memorial-application process — that governs any memorial work here. Eighteen monuments are listed, so conservation care applies to parts of the cemetery.
