Public Health Funeral Services

The Isle of Wight Council seeks a supplier to provide funeral services under its statutory duty as the local authority. Public Health funerals are arranged for deceased individuals within the council's boundary where no family members can be identified or are unable or unwilling to arrange burial or cremation. This service is mandated under section 46 of The Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984. The successful supplier will be responsible for managing all aspects of these funerals with dignity and professionalism, including coordination with relevant authorities, arrangement of burial or cremation, and associated administrative processes.
