Greenford Park Cemetery was laid out on former farmland, with a grid of paths leading to a small chapel in the centre. It was declared open for interments 'at exceptionally low charges' in January 1902. All the graves face in the normal east-west direction except in the Muslim section just to the west of the chapel where they are all aligned roughly east-south-east to west-north-west to face Mecca. The chapel is unusually bright for a cemetery and looks like it has had a fresh application of while paint. A photograph of the Muslim area can be seen at http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5752715
