Gunnersbury Cemetery

Story

Gunnersbury Cemetery, also known as Kensington or New Kensington Cemetery, is a cemetery opened in 1929. Although it is owned and managed by the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, it is geographically located within the London Borough of Hounslow at 143, Gunnersbury Avenue in Acton - most of the rest of which is in the London Borough of Ealing.HistoryA triangle of land between the Gunnersbury Avenue and the Great West Road, part of the Gunnersbury Park, was bought in 1925 from the Rothschild family by the borough. The cemetery was founded soon afterwards, in 1929, on the former parkland.

BEWARE! My mother disabled by grief at her husband's death already had a plot in this cemetery in which her mother in law was buried. We were advised that there was a stone mason on the premises able to provide the tomb stone. My mother was given the inflated price of £3,000 for a simple stone with few words. The money was paid to the stone mason as advised but after many phone calls and waiting the tomb stone was never installed. More phone calls and it was found that the stone mason had disappeared not only with my mother's money but several other people's money also. There was little apology for this by Gunnesbury who claimed they had no responsibility for the stone masons who worked for them. I have wondered about the legal veracity of this, and to this day my gather and grandmother still have no stone. Although a reasonably attractive place DO NOT RISK HIRING THEIR STONE MASON!

Situated off the A406 North Circular, just north of Chiswick roundabout the cemetery can be a little difficult to find. It is a multi denominational and multi national cemetery. It is well organised, and kept in a very neat and tidy condition. There are a few graves that are falling over due to ground subsidence, but these are being repaired and the vast majority of graves are in excellent condition. Road and plane noise does intrude to some extent, but there is still a tranquil ambience. The chapel is located approximately in the centre and there is a car park and toilets inside the entrance on the left.
