Burial fees for infants are to be waived next month
The change in fee structure was agreed at the full council meeting in April and will come into effect from 1 June, 2018.
Council’s Cemetery Services Department is currently in the process of notifying all funeral directors and other relevant agencies of the change which applies to any plot opening for a resident child within all council operational cemeteries.
The move follows the council’s unanimous acceptance of a proposal from Ulster Unionist Councillor Julie Flaherty last month.
She said she had been humbled by the support received for her call.
