Colchester Cemetery & Crematorium have signed up to the BRAMM scheme.

BRAMM is a register of nationally accredited businesses and masons ensuring the safe fixing of memorials to BS8415.

This means that any memorial mason wishing to carry out any work in our cemetery must be registered with BRAMM, this provides everyone with the assurance that they are properly qualified, have current and appropriate £5m public liability insurance and have carried out the necessary risk assessments, plus they will have an up to date Health & Safety policy.

A memorial mason registered with BRAMM will be issued with a fixer licence (similar to a driving licence), and should be available for inspection when working within the cemetery.
