Memorial safety inspection
In January 2019 we will start the fourth year of a memorial safety inspection programme at cemeteries in the borough. Trained staff will perform a visual check and/or a hand test in line with the Council's memorial safety policy.

If you are a visitor to our cemeteries, you may see notices regarding the inspection at the cemetery entrance and on specific plots. If you would like to know more about this process or would like to report a potentially dangerous memorial, please contact the cemetery office on 0208 314 3210 or email bereavement@lewisham.gov.uk.
Ladywell and Brockley cemeteries are next to each other. You can walk from one cemetery to another.
