Overview
The subject of burials is highly emotional and sensitive. The cemetery and burial plot is an important space for families and friends to visit and to commemorate their loved one.
While Leicester City Council are mindful of this, nurse it means they need to find solutions to allow further burials in the city in the future and to implement a plan to prevent a shortage of burial space developing.
Leicester City Council is developing a strategy to address this problem and is aiming to provide long term solutions to the decreasing availability of burial space, and increasing costs of burial in the city. They would like to hear your views.
