answer text <p>The Government has not made any such estimate.</p><p> </p><p>In line with the regulatory framework for cremation, ashes would normally be returned to the cremation applicant, which in the case of a public health cremation would be the local authority. However, it is open to the local authority to pass the ashes to any family or friends who come forward, and we would expect this to happen whenever possible.</p> more like this

answer text <p>I refer to my answer of 5 March for PQ 225548 which can be found at: http://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-question/Commons/2015-02-26/225548/</p><p> </p><p>When I set out that the Department of Health implements its death certification reforms, the Ministry of Justice will also amend its cremation regulations to reflect the changes to cremation authorisation processes. Planning for these reforms will present an opportunity for consultation and to consider the recommendations both of the Shropshire inquiry and the 2014 Infant Cremation Commission in Scotland, including the appointment of a National Inspector of Crematoria.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Although the Ministry of Justice has responsibility for cremation legislation and policy, it does not have operational responsibility for cremations and so does not hold the requested information. The costs involved to obtain the information would be disproportionate.</p> more like this
