Policy Issues arising from Cemetery Management Bill 2013: Discussion

2:00 pm

Mr. David Pierce:

We have spoken to some of them. Brompton Cemetery in London is run by the Friends of Brompton Cemetery, which has charitable status. It does not sell monuments but raises funds from tours, lectures and selling souvenirs such as mugs. It would see selling monuments as an interference in a trade that has been established for thousands of years in Britain.
