Memorial stability testing in the Cemetery
Hertford Town Council is testing memorial stability in the Cemetery.
Contractors, Cemetery Development Services, have been testing memorial headstones following Health and Safety guidance issued to all cemetery authorities. This involves checking all of the headstones following the latest guidance “Managing the Safety of Burial Ground Memorials” issued by the Burials and Cemeteries Advisory Group (January 2009).
Any headstone that fails will be risk assessed to determine the best way of making it safe. Unsafe memorials near to high risk areas such as pathways will be cordoned off and if in danger of imminent collapse, may be in the worst case be laid down. Warning signs will be displayed advising cemetery users.
Testing started the week commencing 31st March 2025. Should you wish for more information, please click here.
