Cleaning in Newham
Memorial Guardian provides professional grave cleaning and headstone maintenance throughout the London Borough of Newham. We cover City of London Cemetery, Manor Park Cemetery, West Ham Cemetery and all burial grounds across Stratford, East Ham and the wider borough.
In short
When a headstone at Manor Park Cemetery or the City of London Cemetery & Crematorium has weathered with the years, we restore it gently, never with pressure washing or acids. Across every Newham cemetery and churchyard, a headstone clean starts from £75 and a full grave clean from £85. Before-and-after photographs follow; you need not attend.

Burial History in Newham
The City of London Cemetery and Crematorium at Manor Park, opened by the City Corporation in 1856 to relieve its hopelessly overcrowded medieval churchyards, has grown to 200 acres and now holds over one million burials — the largest active municipal cemetery in Europe. Manor Park Cemetery, opened in 1874, served the diverse communities of East Ham including its significant Jewish population. West Ham Cemetery, established in 1857, reflects the rapid industrialisation of the lower Lea Valley and the working-class heritage of the communities who settled there.
