Public Health Funerals Freedom of Information Requests

We receive a large number of requests, under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, for details of cases where the Public Protection Team (Licensing) have undertaken arrangements for a funeral. The attached document shows the funeral costs paid by the Council and recovered costs (if any) since 2000. The following table provides the details of these cases since 2010 and is correct as of today's date:
