Fife Council is set to undertake routine safety inspections of headstones at
Anstruther Easter Churchyard and Anstruther Cemetery starting on Monday 12
December. Any headstones that are found to require attention will be made safe
as sympathetically as possible by the survey team. In a small number of
instances, it may be necessary to fence off larger memorials until specialist
contractors have had an opportunity to inspect them. Signage advising of the
inspections will be placed around the cemetery. Liz Murphy, Fife Council's
Service Manager, Bereavement Services, said: “Fife Council has a duty of care to
provide a safe environment in each of our 115 cemeteries and churchyards for
both the public who visit them and council staff who work there. “I'd encourage
local people who have kin within this cemetery to get in touch so that we can
keep them advised of any remedial work required.
