Memorial headstone safety testing
Memorial headstone safety testing will take place on Monday 18 March to Friday 22 March 2024.
This will be in these cemeteries: Ryde, Newport, Carisbrooke and Ventnor. This is essential work to check the stability of burial ground memorials. This is to make sure they are safe. The utmost care and respect will be paid during this inspection. If you have any questions please contact bereavement.services@iow.gov.uk

Our dedicated team can offer various memorials for you to remember your loved ones. Contact the office on 01983 882288 to book an appointment and discuss your options.
