PART II
Burial of still-born infant1
No fee is payable in respect of the burial of a still-born infant, or for the funeral or burial of an infant dying within the neo-natal period of 28 days after birth.
Cremated remains in churches or closed churchyards2
Where cremated remains are buried in or under a church or in a closed churchyard, the fees payable to the incumbent and the parochial church council are:
i
where burial is authorised by a general faculty, the same as those laid down in Part I of this table for burial in a churchyard;
ii
where burial is authorised by a particular faculty, such sums as may be determined by the chancellor.
Monuments in churchyards3
The fees marked5 include fees for the original inscription. Where a monument in a churchyard is erected or an additional inscription on a monument is made under the authority of a particular faculty the fees payable to the incumbent and the parochial church council or either of them shall be such sums as may be determined by the chancellor who shall specify the persons entitled to receive them.
Monuments in churches4
Where a faculty is granted in connection with the erection of a monument or tablet in a church or any additional inscription thereon, the fees payable to the incumbent and the parochial church council or either of them shall be determined by the chancellor who shall specify the persons entitled to receive them.
The incumbent’s fees5
Unless the incumbent has signed a Deed of Assignment in favour of the Diocesan Board of Finance he may direct either generally or in particular cases that all or part of any fee which would otherwise be payable to him shall be payable to the minister performing the service or duty.
Reservation of grave space: vaults6
Payment of any of the fees prescribed by this table does not confer any right to construct a new vault or an exclusive right to a grave or vault. Where a faculty is granted conferring rights for a period specified in the faculty, the fees payable to the incumbent and the parochial church council or either of them shall be determined by the chancellor who shall specify the persons entitled to receive them.
Searches in Church registers, etc7
The search fee relates to a `particular search' where the approximate date of the baptism, marriage or burial is known. The fee for a more general search of a church register would be negotiable with the incumbent and the parochial church council.
