Decision details

That the Council withdraws its burial charges for single depth graves for children up to and including the age of 17. In the event that the family request a triple or double depth grave the cost will be apportioned as outlined in Appendix 1. Families will still need to acquire an Exclusive Right to Burial in the event that they wish to display a headstone.

The Costs for exhumations will be increased to £250 for cremated remains. Full coffins will be charged on an individual basis to be determined by the actual costs incurred, with a minimum fee of £500.

Where a coffin to be buried is in excess of 28 inches wide a double plot will need to be purchased.

Exclusive Right to Burial fees increased to £450 for a new issue. Where a transfer is proposed a Statutory Declaration will need to be completed by those requesting the transfer and a fee of £400 paid. This process will need to be completed prior to the burial taking place.

That the amended charges are agreed as outlined in Appendix 1
