Article 3

PART 2EXPLANATORY NOTES ON PART 1

Burial on a separate occasion

1.  In relation to the fee for a burial in a churchyard, “on a separate occasion” means on any occasion other than immediately preceding or following on from a service in church, for example, the interment of cremated remains.

Burial of infant

2.  No fee is payable in respect of the funeral or burial of a still-born infant, or for the funeral or burial of an infant dying within the period of one year after birth.

Funeral service

3.  If a full funeral service is held at the graveside, the incumbent’s fee is increased to that payable where the service is held in church.

Burial of cremated remains in churches or closed churchyards

4.  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—

(a)where burial is authorised by a general faculty, the same as those laid down in Part 1 for burial in a churchyard;

(b)where burial is authorised by a particular faculty, such sums as may be determined by the Chancellor, who shall specify the person or persons entitled to receive them.

Monuments in churchyards

5.  The fees marked (*) 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 person or persons entitled to receive them.

  • The incumbent’s fee for an additional inscription on a small cross of wood shall not exceed the current fee payable to the incumbent for the erection of such a monument.

Direction by incumbent as to payment of fees

6.  An incumbent who has not executed an assignment of parochial fees to the Diocesan Board of Finance may direct, either generally or in a particular case, that all or part of any fee which is payable to the incumbent under Part 1 shall be payable to the minister performing the service or duty.

Searches in church registers etc.

7.  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 is negotiable with the incumbent and the Parochial Church Council.

Services in crematoria and unconsecrated cemeteries

8.  Section 2(4) of the Church of England (Miscellaneous Provisions) Measure 1992(3) places an obligation on the minister of a parish, if requested, to perform, or arrange the performance of, funeral services for his parishioners and certain other persons in certain cemeteries and crematoria. The fees prescribed by the Table in Part 1 for such services apply except where a local authority or other crematorium authority has fixed charges for such services in which case the authority’s charges apply.
