Paragraph 4 Burial of cremated remains

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

Where burial takes place in a grave or vault already containing the body or cremated remains of a close relative of the deceased, there shall be no fee payable to the Parochial Church Council. For the purposes of this paragraph, “close relative” includes spouse, parent, child or sibling.

Where cremated remains are buried in or under a church or in a closed churchyard, the fees payable to the incumbent and the Parochial Church Council are:

(i)

where burial is authorised by a general faculty, the same as those laid down in Part I of this Schedule for burial in a churchyard;

(ii)

where burial is authorised by a general faculty, such sums as may be determined by the Chancellor, who shall specify the person or persons entitled to receive them.
