What standards must new memorials now meet?

All headstone memorials installed after 1st April 2004 within our cemeteries involve the use of a ground anchor and / or dowels for added stability. All memorial masons operating in cemeteries across Walsall and the Black Country must comply with these new standards and must be on the Black Country approved list. Walsall Council has an approved list of competent memorial masons who can install memorials to the new standard. When buying a new memorial check that it meets the council’s regulations – your mason will apply to the council for a permit for approval to install a new memorial.
