Sydney is at risk of running out of burial plots if the management of its public cemeteries is not sorted out by the new state government, a report has found.

The independent report into OneCrown, the organisation that manages Sydney's crown cemeteries, was handed to the Minns Government earlier this month and noted that if a decision was not made on its future, the government would not be able to meet the burial needs of Sydney residents.
