5Motion referred to the Executive under Standing Order 31
The following motion was referred to the Executive from the meeting of Falkirk Council on 6 March 2019

Funeral Poverty is on the rise, with more families struggling to pay for their loved ones funeral.

Nationally increasing numbers of people are having a Paupers Funeral, which Councils have to organise.

Stirling Council has recently made changes to their bereavements services plan, whereby they now offer a reduced burial, which offers the relatives a chance to say goodbye. This was done in collaboration with local undertakers who were willing to support this.

Council recognises that funeral poverty is on the increase.

Council will actively seek opportunities to offer a funeral service that enables grieving relatives to say goodbye whilst keeping costs to a minimum.

Council will engage with the local bereavement sector to see where collaborative working can take place to support families who are struggling to afford their loved ones funeral costs.

Council asks the Director of Development Services to bring forward a report to an Executive meeting within 3 months.
