Responsibility for the MemorialThe following list contains a number of key responsibilities, which you accept when having a memorial fixed in the cemetery.
1. The memorial remains the property of its owners and does not become the property of the Local Authority.
2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that the memorial is maintained in a safe condition and does not pose a hazard to cemetery staff or visitors. We do, therefore, expect memorial owners to regularly check to ensure that their memorial remains safe. You may wish to discuss ongoing maintenance of the memorial with the Monumental Mason.
3. In the event of the memorial being vandalised, which, thankfully, is a very rare occurrence, the Authority does not accept any liability.
