When you are choosing a stonemason to produce a memorial for a loved one, one of the most important things to check is whether they are registered with BRAMM — the British Register of Accredited Memorial Masons.
What Is BRAMM?
BRAMM is the industry body that accredits memorial masons in the United Kingdom. It was established to raise standards in the industry and protect both members of the public and the masonry profession. BRAMM registration is recognised and required by most UK cemetery authorities.
What Does BRAMM Registration Mean?
- The mason has completed accredited training in memorial installation
- They carry the required insurance for memorial work
- They are assessed and re-assessed on a regular basis
- Their work complies with the safety code of practice for headstone installation
- They can work in any council or private cemetery that requires BRAMM registration
Why It Matters
Headstone installation involves heavy stone — sometimes in excess of 200kg — being handled in public spaces. An improperly fitted headstone can be a serious safety hazard. BRAMM-registered masons follow a strict code of practice that eliminates this risk.
"BRAMM registration is not a nice-to-have — in most UK cemeteries, it is the only way they will allow you to work."
