Memorial Stability Testing Service

For Cemeteries, Churchyards & Local Authorities

Across the UK, many burial grounds attempt memorial safety checks without the proper equipment, training, or insurance—leaving themselves open to serious liability. At Set in Stone Didcot Ltd, we offer a professional memorial stability testing service that is fully insured, BRAMM-compliant, and carried out using calibrated equipment operated by trained technicians.

Our team uses a dedicated stability testing device that applies consistent pressure to each memorial, ensuring uniform and reliable results. An audible alert sounds when the correct testing force has been reached—removing any guesswork and ensuring accurate, repeatable outcomes.

Our Memorial Testing Services

We offer two service levels to suit your requirements:

1. Standard Testing

  • Each memorial is assessed and recorded as Pass or Fail

  • A detailed written report is provided for your records

  • Ideal for councils, parishes or graveyard committees that simply require an audit of safety compliance.

2. Testing with Temporary Safety Measures

  • Includes all features of the standard test

  • Any failed memorials are made temporarily safe with:

    • A safety stake placed behind the memorial

    • High-visibility barrier tape to warn visitors

  • A clear indication of risk is provided while awaiting permanent repair by the memorial owner

 

Bulk Re-Installation Services

Where multiple failed memorials need to be professionally reinstalled—and the local authority or church is covering the cost—we can offer a bulk re installation package at a reduced rate. This approach helps return your burial ground to full compliance efficiently and affordably.
