Yes. Tottenham Cemetery on White Hart Lane is a large Victorian ground still open for burials, so memorials range from weathered limestone and marble to modern granite. Algae, lichen and darkened lettering are the usual problems. We clean graves and headstones there using stone-safe methods, within Haringey’s rules and the cemetery’s conservation-area considerations.
About Tottenham Cemetery
Opened in 1858 by the Tottenham Burial Board to replace the churchyard of All Hallows’ Church, Tottenham Cemetery covers 62 acres on White Hart Lane. Only part of the original ground was consecrated, with two acres set aside for non-Church of England burials. It is still open for traditional and vault burials, and Haringey has a conservation area appraisal for the site.
Access: Haringey owns the cemetery; Dignity Funerals Ltd runs burial services under contract. The site is unmanned and administered remotely from Enfield Crematorium, both original chapels being disused, so arrange permissions in advance. Conservation-area considerations apply to memorial work.
