Cemetery safety inspections

If we have made a memorial safe and can't contact the owner, we may need to take further action.

If the memorial is bonded together

It will be inspected every 12 months to make sure it's still stable.

If it becomes too unstable, it will be secured with a stake or laid flat on the ground.

If the memorial has been secured with a stake

It will be left upright for 12 months to give the owner the chance to visit the memorial and repair it.

After 12 months it will be laid flat on the ground.

If the memorial has been socketed into the ground

It will remain in this position until the owner arranges a repair.
