My department does not collect data on the number of Local Authority funerals. The Social Fund Funeral Payment scheme continues to provide help towards a simple, respectful, low-cost funeral and in 2013/14, over 33,000 awards were made worth £44.7 million, with an average award of £1,347. Social Fund Budgeting Loans are also available to those on income related benefits to cover costs relating to funeral expenses.
