Cemetery Management Bill 2013

Public bill · Private Member · Introduced

The Cemetery Management Bill 2013 would establish a Cemeteries Regulator and require most non-local-authority and non-religious cemetery operators to obtain a licence. Operators would have to meet management rules, including limits on commercial activities, to prevent them using control of a cemetery to unfairly compete with other businesses. The aim is to make cemetery management more transparent and promote fair competition.

Formal long title
