Greenwich Cemetery — Attraction in London

Discussing worst Cemetery I have ever seen or been too came all the way down from Manchester to find a relative grave I was sent a picture of what the grave looked like and when I turned up was impossible to find the headstone it was buried under so much grass and soil. The cemetery as just been left and not maintained very shocking and upsetting me after a few hours of walking over headstones and trying not to break our ankles me and my partner found my relatives grave/headstone and half of it is buried under soil !! And grass. The whole row and area was covered and the area is from 1954+ Yet my ancestors graves who are from 1890/1900s are very well kept in Manchester can see the full headstone!!!

I think it's really sad how they have put up signs saying it's being given over to nature but the reality is that it's just not being maintained. I've got 5 family members buried in this cemetary including my wife who died recently and my parents. Her grandfather's grave is now completely overgrown and I can't even find it. I worry that the whole cemetary will be abandoned like this. I was up there today and I was surprised that they appear to be restoring the 2 Gothic chapels which are never used, surely this money would be better spent maintaining our families graves, it saddens me. The picture is of my wife's grandfather's headstone which is now under brambles and grass and...
