It covers public health funerals where there are no known relatives or there is no one willing to come forward and undertake responsibility for the funeral. It sets out the expectations of service delivery and does not allow for amendments and additions other than those listed within the specification. This contract will be divided into LOTs to cover Stockport, Trafford and Rochdale Councils.
