Eight
Reasons for buying a memorial from a member of
the |
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
OF MEMORIAL MASONS |
|
| A
memorial should be a lasting tribute perpetuating
a life. It therefore needs to be well made and
securely erected. Often it is difficult for a
person buying a memorial to assess the quality
and workmanship that should be expected. So, to
avoid unnecessary future expense, regret or even
distress, it is advisable to choose a memorial
mason who is required to work to certain specified
standards. |
|
|
| 1.
All members must carry out memorial work to the
standards laid down in an approved Code of Working
Practice. |
| 2.
All members are skilled memorial masons with a
full understanding of their craft and therefore
capable of providing a proper aftercare service. |
| 3.
All members must be well-established businesses
with a proven track record. |
| 4.
All members must adhere to a strict Code of Ethics. |
| 5.
All members are required to have Public Liability
insurance cover. |
| 6.
All members are encouraged to take part in training
schemes, seminars and craft competitions organised
by the Association to promote high standards of
craftsmanship. |
| 7.
All members are able to offer memorial insurance
through schemes approved by the Association ø
these cover All Risks, including vandalism. |
| 8.
Finally, in the event of any problem arising,
the National Association of Memorial Masons Offers
an independent arbitration service. |
