Gunnersbury Cemetery (former Kensington New Cemetery) — Attraction in London

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.
