Public funerals

Under the Public Health (Control of Diseases) Act 1984, when a resident in the area passes away (excluding in hospital) the Council has a duty to make arrangements for the funeral if living relatives cannot be found.

It is expected that family members make arrangement themselves. We do not offer a low cost funeral service at the current time - See GOV.UK: Get help with funeral costs (opens new window).
