funerals
Dear Ceredigion Council,
I am undertaking a study on the numbers of Public Health/Welfare Funerals undertaken by LA's in the UK. I would appreciate it if you would provide answers to the following FOI request.
1. The total number of public health funerals (where the deceased
has no relatives or there is no one else willing to pay) that your LA has undertaken for the financial years 2010/11, 2011/12, 2012/13?
2. The number of public health funerals that your LA has
undertaken by gender for the past 3 financial years?
3. The number of public health funerals that your LA has
undertaken by age for the past 3 financial years?
Since April 2010, how many cases have there been where family and
friends refuse to finance or make arrangements for their relatives
funeral?
4. How much have the burials/cremations cost the LA broken down
by year for the last three financial years? This cost information
does not need to include administrative or staff costs, and before
any costs are claimed back by the local authority from the
deceased’s estate
5. How much does your trust typically (average cost) pay for a
Public Health Funeral?
6. What does your LA provide at a Public Health Funeral?
7. What relationship do you have with your local NHS Trust
regarding funerals of this nature?
8. Have you observed any of the following over the last three
years?
• Higher numbers or people dying without any income or assets
• Higher numbers of people dying with family or friends unable to
contribute to the costs of a funeral
• Higher numbers of people dying with family or friends unwilling
to contribute to the costs of a funeral
• Higher numbers of people dying with no friends or family
Yours faithfully,
paul ogden
Good afternoon,
Your Freedom of Information request of 7^th April 2013 has been forwarded
for my attention and I am able to inform you that no public health
funerals have been arranged by the Environmental Services and Housing
department for the financial years 2010-11, 2011-12 and 2012-13
I hope this information is of assistance but if you require any further
information please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you
