CREMATION STATISTICS

Every year we gather statistical information from every crematorium in the UK and from as many organisations as possible from across the world, to track new and developing trends. 
 

The Cremation Society is the only organisation that collects these detailed statistics and this information is used by UK Government departments, crematoria management, bereavement organisations, funeral directors and planning consultants alike.
