Notice of cemetery inspection in January

Weymouth Town Council staff will be carrying out memorial inspections at Wyke Cemetery in January 2024.

All local burial authorities (Parish, Town, District or other Councils) have a legal duty to ensure memorials are safe in any public graveyard or cemetery they manage.

Staff will be testing the memorials Stability. Each memorial is carefully assessed to check for movement and any memorials in a dangerous, unsafe condition may be set into the ground or laid down. Please be advised that the town council will contact grave owners if this action is required.

If residents have any enquiries regarding the cemetery inspections, please email bereavementservices@weymouthtowncouncil.gov.uk or phone 01305 239291
