It had announced that from March 1, all services would run for a maximum of 30 minutes plus 10 minutes prep, but the charge would remain at the higher price of £710.
The move faced a backlash from angry residents, and an undertaker in the Towns spoke out against the changes earlier this week.
This morning, it announced that from March 1, services times will be temporarily reduced to 40 minutes - a 30 minute service and 10 minutes for staff to prepare for the next service which includes sanitising - but the price will be £482.50.
