National Association of Memorial Masons

Members of the National Association of Memorial Masons have to keep to their own strict rules.

If a dispute should arise, they also have a free and independent conciliation and arbitration service. Any firms who take part in this process must keep to the decisions of the arbitration service.

In our cemeteries all memorials must be fixed to the standards set by the National Association of Memorial Masons Code of Ethics and Practice. This includes all foundations and fixings. You can see a copy of the National Association of Memorial Masons Code at the Cemeteries Administration Office.

All memorial mason companies who work within our cemeteries must be registered with the Register of Accredited Memorial Masons (BRAMM) .
