Consultation on the law relating to burial and cremation

Who we are? The Law Commission of England and Wales is an independent body established by statute to make recommendations to government to reform the law.

What are we doing? Conducting a public consultation on our provisional proposals to reform the law governing burial and cremation.

What is it about? The law relating to burial and cremation.

Why are we consulting? We are seeking views on our provisional proposals and asking questions. Your views will be carefully considered when we decide on our final recommendations.

Who do we want to hear from? We are keen to receive responses from as many stakeholders as possible. That includes those who operate burial grounds or crematoria, those who use them, funeral directors, and those with an interest in what happens to our bodies after we die.
