The Council gave consideration to a report providing an update on the outcomes of a pilot for civil funeral services with local undertakers in the Kintyre area that Council had approved in September 2022.
Decision
The Council approved -
1. the
permanent addition of civil funeral services to the portfolio of registration
services in the Kintyre registration district, in co-operation with local
undertakers; noting that roll out to further districts in the future would
require separate approval; and
2.
that the
council continues to record funeral service fees in the annual budget pack and
subject to the inflationary increases approved by Council.
