Cemetery safety inspections

If a memorial is unsafe

If a memorial is unsafe, we will make it safe temporarily.

We will make it safe by doing one of the following things:

  • Bonding the memorial together using a hybrid polymer
  • Securing the memorial with a metal or wooden stake
  • Socketing the memorial into the ground

If it's too unsafe to do any of the above, we'll lay the memorial flat on the ground with the inscription facing upwards. This will only be done as a last resort.

We'll put a sign in front of the memorial asking the owner to contact us. We'll also write to them if we have their information.
