    Statement Upheld Cemeteries and crematoria 28-Mar-2024

    Summary: Miss C complained about the arrangements made for the burial of her mother at a Council run cemetery. We do not find fault with the location of the grave. However, there was fault by contractors on the day of the service and the Council was unclear about charges for a proposed disinterment. This has caused distress for Miss C. The Council has accepted these findings and at the end of this statement we set out action it has agreed to take to remedy the injustice.
