Public Health funerals – Data Sharing Agreement

This agreement will facilitate the sharing of information relating to deaths (and living individuals) under the jurisdiction of the Senior Coroner.

Information will be shared with Bedford, Central Bedfordshire and Luton local authorities, who have a statutory duty, to arrange a burial or cremation where no suitable alternative arrangements are being made (i.e. there are no next of kin or next of kin are not in a position to arrange or fund a funeral). 

Information supplied to them will relate to contact details for next of kin, other relatives or other individuals/services who wish to be informed of the public health funeral arrangements.
