Public health funeral data

To aid transparency, we publish information relating to the public health funerals we have carried out. This information is only available for funerals carried out since 2012/13. The information will be updated when a funeral has been carried out.

Not all details will be disclosed. This is because they are exempt under Section 31 (1) (a) (law enforcement – the prevention or detection of crime) of the Freedom of Information Act.
