Memorial safety inspections
Published: 17/07/2015
天涯社区 is continuing its memorial safety inspection
programme, with the next phase of inspections scheduled to take place in the
following cemeteries during July:
路 Hawarden No 1 & No 2
路 Treuddyn
路 Greenfield No 2
路 Northop Road, Flint
Each memorial in these cemeteries will be tested using a consistent method. The
inspections will be undertaken by experienced staff who have completed memorial
safety inspection training and are fully competent in this sensitive area of
work.
If a memorial is identified as unsafe but does not represent an immediate
danger, the Council will attempt to contact the Registered Grave Owner prior to
arranging for a temporary support to be erected behind the stone, a notice will
be placed at the back of the memorial to inform families that the Authority
have been unable to make contact with, what has happened, and who to contact.
If any memorials identified as unsafe are too large to be temporarily secured
they will be carefully laid flat on wooden blocks with a notice placed on the
memorial and, where possible, grave owners will be contacted.
It is important that the Council completes this work to ensure the safety of
all who visit and work in our cemeteries. We would like to assure families that
the Council is very aware of the concerns the bereaved may have and the work
will be completed in a respectful manner.
Further information on the Council鈥檚 memorial safety programme is available by
contacting the Bereavement Services Office on 01352 703360 or 703361 or 703362.
