Waltham Forest Muslim Cemetery — Attraction in London

This review is specifically for the long term maintenance of the graveyard and doesn’t include the boys who work there on a daily basis or the burial day itself. The burial was perfect and we had no issues.

The graveyard has quite a lot of water logged ground during the winter and it makes it impossible to visit graves safely. We’ve been told numerous times that the hedging at the back will be cut down (as the owner has bought that land) and the graveyard will be extended, however no progress.

The council should really put a camera on that road so that no rubbish is being dumped on the road to the cemetery. It can get a bit tight at times with all the fly tippers dumping rubbish on...

Patrick the caretaker is very helpful and I appreciate all the work he does at keeping it well maintained. He also has a book full of names of the people who have been left there to rest in peace. Its unfortunate so many graves are neglected, so I hope this will help others find their...
