Keeping Cemeteries Safe for Everyone
For Councils, Churches and Burial Authorities please visit our sister website for more details.
We carry out memorial safety inspections to help make cemeteries and churchyards safer places for families, visitors, and local communities.
Over time, memorials can become unstable due to weather, ground movement, age, or accidental damage. Our trained inspectors carefully check memorials to identify any that may present a risk. Where issues are found, they are carefully recorded and reported so that the responsible authority can take appropriate, respectful action.
For the general public, this work is about protection and peace of mind. Regular inspections reduce the risk of memorials falling and causing injury, helping to ensure that burial grounds remain safe, welcoming places to visit, reflect, and remember. By identifying problems early, we also help preserve memorials and prevent avoidable damage, supporting the long-term care of these important and personal spaces.
If you are concerned about the safety or condition of a memorial, or would like to understand more about how inspections work, we welcome families to contact us for further information. Our team is always happy to offer guidance, explain the process, and help you find the right next steps.
