The Order amends Schedule A1 to the Ecclesiastical Fees Measure 1986 (which sets out the matters in respect of which parochial fees may be prescribed) so that funeral and burial fees are no longer payable in respect of persons aged 16 or 17, and so that fees may be prescribed in connection with funerals that are held in funeral directors’ premises. It also amends the definition of “cemetery” Schedule A1 so that it includes burial grounds other than those that are maintained by a burial authority.
