Charter for the Bereaved
The Council has adopted the Charter for the Bereaved issued by
the Institute of Cemetery and
Crematoria Management. The Charter is a commitment to improving
the service by confronting rather than disguising the death
experience, and by reducing ignorance. It defines the rights of
every individual who experiences bereavement, and gives the
bereaved greater influence over the arrangements of funerals,
thereby controlling costs and offering more satisfaction.
The Charter guarantees 33 rights and these are integrated into
the services. Indeed, we see the Charter Rights as a minimum and
our service extends well beyond these requirements. If you require
a hard copy of the Charter, please contact us.
We also adhere to the ICCM's Guiding
Principles of Burial & Cremation Services.
