Description

The London Borough of Bromley is seeking a Supplier to provide Public Health Funeral Services. Under Section 46 of the Public Health & Control of Diseases Act 1984, the Council has a statutory obligation to carry out funeral arrangement for a person who dies in the community, within the borough of Bromley, where there is no arrangement in place, or where the deceased does not have anybody willing or able to undertake the funeral arrangements. A public funeral can be arranged for a deceased person with savings or other assets that amount to less than the cost of a benchmarked funeral.
The Council averages sixteen (16) Public Health Funerals each year, but this can vary upwards or downwards and the Council cannot guarantee the number of funerals ordered each year.
