Environmental Levy

Stricter legislation has required crematoria to fit additional equipment to further clean the emissions to air generated by the cremation process. With the approval of DEFRA crematoria have been advised to levy a charge on all adult cremations. This charge is for the purpose of covering the capital costs of the initial installation of equipment, its subsequent renewal and the additional running costs associated with the abatement equipment.
