A funeral director is calling on a Northern Ireland council to “abolish” what he says are “shocking” burial costs.
And Dunmurry undertaker, David Capper, has hit out at ‘astronomical’ fees grieving families are facing if council boundary changes have shifted them from Lisburn to Belfast meaning they must pay ‘non-resident’ burial costs.
The former president of the British Institute of Funeral Directors (BIFD) was speaking as Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council (LCCC) has seen general burial costs rise on average 10% across the council’s cemeteries.
