Overview

Cemetery safety inspections

Memorial safety inspections will start in Jarrow Cemetery on 2 December 2024.

The cemetery will be fully available throughout the inspections.

We are legally required to make our cemeteries safe to visit.

We are carrying out safety inspections on every memorial that is over 18 inches tall. These inspections will take 5-years and begin in Summer 2024.

If a memorial needs to be repaired, we will contact the owner.

If you own a memorial in one of our cemeteries and your details have changed, you need to contact us.
