Alliance Environmental Services Ltd (AES Ltd) in conjunction with Cheshire East Bereavement Services on behalf of High Peak Borough Council.
AES Ltd have completed a safety survey of the memorials in St James, Buxton.
We are responsible to ensure the safety of all visitors to the cemeteries under our control and following fatalities and injuries in other parts of the country caused by falling memorials, we are following advice by the Health and Safety Executive the Ministry of Justice and the Diocesan Advisory Committee. This churchyard is subject to the Faculty Jurisdiction of the Church of England, exercised through the Consistory Court.
During our latest survey we identified the following memorial’s have failed the testing and in need of remedial work.

The primary responsibility for maintenance of the memorial rests with the owner of the memorial. We require to know if the owners intend to carry out the essential remedial works required.
If we do not hear from the owners by 08/05/2025 then it will be assumed that you do not wish to carry out the work and CEBS will then arrange for the necessary works to make the memorial safe. This work will be conducted at a cost however we will seek to recoup that cost from the owner.
