The memorial industry has evolved tremendously over the years, with organizations such as the British Register of Accredited Memorial Masons (BRAMM) and the National Association of Memorial Masons (NAMM) playing key roles in this progression. These organizations strive to uphold the highest standards in the industry, ensuring that memorial masonry is carried out with utmost professionalism, skill, and respect.
BRAMM: Ensuring Excellence in Memorial Masonry
Established in 2004, BRAMM serves to ensure that memorial masons are sufficiently skilled, competent, and reliable. The organization emphasizes quality and safety, providing comprehensive training and qualifications for those in the memorial industry.
When a memorial mason is accredited by BRAMM, it signifies that they have met strict criteria for competency and conduct. This gives clients peace of mind, knowing that their memorial is in expert hands, and will be crafted and installed with care and precision.
NAMM: Advocating for High Standards
NAMM, on the other hand, has been a stalwart in the industry for over a century, advocating for the highest standards since its establishment in 1907. The organization promotes excellence in design, material selection, environmental responsibility, and health and safety practices.
NAMM members adhere to a stringent code of business and ethical practice, ensuring they maintain the highest professional standards. This is not just beneficial for the masons themselves, but also crucial for families seeking a fitting memorial for their loved ones.
Why It Matters
Both BRAMM and NAMM offer invaluable assurance in an industry that deals with such deeply personal matters. A memorial is more than just a marker; it’s a lasting tribute to a life lived. It’s a place where family and friends can go to remember, grieve, and celebrate the life of their loved ones. Therefore, it’s crucial that these memorials are made and maintained to the highest standards.
Having a memorial created or cared for by a mason who is a member of BRAMM or NAMM guarantees that the work will be carried out with the requisite skill, sensitivity, and respect. It ensures that the final tribute is a true reflection of the person it represents.
At Edgington Stone Memorials, we are proud to work in line with the standards set by these organizations. We believe that every individual deserves a beautiful, enduring memorial, and we are committed to delivering just that.
Through our understanding of BRAMM and NAMM’s principles, we can ensure that our work aligns with their ethos, offering peace of mind and assurance to those we serve in their times of remembrance.
