Safety of burial ground memorials

The Ministry of Justice has published new guidelines on managing the safety of burial ground memorials.  The guidelines were developed by representatives across the industry in response to requests for more detailed advice on managing memorial stock.  Ministry of Justice guidance only applies to England, but the sensitive and proportionate approach set out in the guidance will be useful for duty holders in Scotland and Wales.
