Memorial Masons in Silchester
Overview
A memorial in St Mary's churchyard has to satisfy the Diocese of Winchester's churchyard regulations, which govern the stone, the size, the colour and even the wording, and the vicar has to approve the design before it is ordered. A mason who has fitted memorials in Silchester before knows what will be accepted. Anywhere else, the cemetery's own rules apply. In either case the mason should be registered with BRAMM or NAMM, which the churchyard will usually insist on.

Before you book a memorial mason
A headstone has to satisfy the churchyard or cemetery as well as the family.
Are they registered with BRAMM or NAMM?
The British Register of Accredited Memorial Masons and the National Association of Memorial Masons both train and register fixers. Many cemeteries and most churchyards will only allow a registered mason to install a memorial.
Do they know the churchyard rules?
A Church of England churchyard has diocesan regulations on stone, size, colour and wording, and the vicar has to approve the design first. A local mason has done this many times.
Is the fixing guaranteed?
Memorials are ground-anchored to a British Standard and should come with a guarantee against movement. Ask how long.
