Trusted service and craft ability assured

Memorial Masonry is an age-old craft whose intrinsic trade skills and ability to produce memorials from scratch defines the true memorial mason, it is this confirmed craft ability combined with a commitment to providing ethical standards of service that set NAMM members apart.

Technology has changed the way businesses now operate with the development of equipment such as computers and machinery to assist the memorial mason produce their wares, and although memorials are now generally smaller and less ornate than those produced by our predecessors the essential craft skills and standards of service still remain and are paramount to NAMM membership.

Our Evolution

The promotion of the memorial masonry craft and the raising of standards of workmanship and service has been the constant aim of the National Association of Memorial Masons since its formation in 1907. As the organisation representing the craft memorial mason the association has over the years taken on new roles in addition to its main function as a trade association. NAMM is nationally recognised as the trusted consultative body on memorial masonry matters and one of the major training providers to both the trade and burial authority personnel.

Standards such as the NAMM Code of Working Practice and memorial fixings test data have been accepted as the National Industry Standard since 1996 and incorporated into BS8415 since its conception 2005.
