Response to the Law Commission’s consultation on Burial and Cremation
January 14, 2025
The Ecclesiastical Law Society is pleased to announce the publication of a response to the Law Commission’s October 2024 consultation on Burial and Cremation which has been submitted by a working party of the Ecclesiastical Law Society. I am most grateful to the members of our Society who have made up the working party: they are all specialist practitioners in this field of ecclesiastical law, and their expertise is readily apparent in the very high quality of this consultation response.
As always with ELS working parties, the views expressed are those of the working party, and not necessarily those of the Society’s Trustees or members, individually or collectively. Nonetheless, I hope very much that the Response will be well-received by the Law Commission, and that, by being made available here, it may contribute to the wider debate.
Lee Coley, Chair of the Ecclesiastical Law Society
