Councils in England and Wales are abdicating their legal responsibility to provide so-called âpauperâs funerals,â often turning away low-income families who cannot afford to pay for relatives to be buried or cremated, according to Quaker Social Action.

A Hornchurch man has found the burial place of his baby brother after a lifetime of searching” is in a public grave soon to be mounded over.
Martin Anderson found the final resting place of his brother, who died in Forest Gate Hospital decades ago when he was three days old, a few months ago.
Mr Anderson said his parents “never recovered from not knowing what happened to him” and the family “now face losing him all over again”.
Town councillors believe Middlewich Cemetery should come under its control MIDDLEWICH Town Council believes the organisation running the town’s cemetery is doing so without legal authority. Lisa Benskin, town clerk, told councillors last week that she had checked 76,000 emails and hundreds of council minutes without being able to find a document proving any legal basis for Middlewich Cemetery Board to operate as an independent body. Members agreed that the council should write to the Middlewich Cemetery Board, asking it to hand control over to the council. Ms Benskin launched an investigation into the legal status of the cemetery last year, and discussed it with the Institute of Cemetery and Crematorium Management (ICCM) and the National Association of Local Councils (NALC).
