You might be in the wrong for thinking that simple cremation are under threat as interment fees at cemeteries in Staffordshire will soar an additional 13 % from January 2012, under strategy exposed today and reported on in the Express and Star local newspaper, in the face of having increased swiftly in the previous 4 year interval ever since 2007. A local funeral directors in Staffordshire is determined to put forward simple cremation so they have a funeral available to fit each budget during these tricky economic times, in an effort to switch the upward pattern.
The planned increase, at cemeteries run by Stafford Council, in Stafford and Stone – which is nearly three times the present rate of inflation – comes as a 12,000-plot burial ground in Great Wyrley is set to be given the go ahead by the same ruling body.
If the projected price hike is granted, the cost for an interment will go up from £754 to £850 within the next few weeks. For the period of the 4 years from 2007 fees have risen a staggering eighty three percent, from £464, putting an end to cheap funerals as we once knew them.
Meanwhile members of South Staffordshire Council seem ready to sanction the latest cemetery in Upper Landywood Lane, Great Wyrley, to ease a lack of burial room here in Staffs., however this is just not likely to indicate a return to similar level of cheapest funerals fees we had back in 2007.
The planned rises in so called bereavement charges in staffordshire borough will be debated by the regional council. As well as burial fees at the burial ground in Tixall Road, Stafford, and off the A34, Stone Grave yard, cremation, funeral and chapel charges will also rise under the plans.
Use of the chapel will rise more than a fifth from £62 to £75, Saturday funeral surcharges could climb to £477 from £426.50 and a cheap funeral will cost 7 % extra throughout the week.
Stafford Borough Council spokesman Will Conaghan said the authority’s bereavement costs were among the lowest countrywide, but soaring energy bills for facilities such as the crematorium and chapel buildings had stretched Stafford council budgets to the edge, he added.
“We tend to do all we can to keep those costs down, without dropping an award-winning bereavement service, for citizens in Staffordshire in what's constantly a grueling time” he said.
“But regrettably external things like enlarged energy costs have an effect on the outlay of running the services” he added.

"We’re aware of the constraints on council finances but people's finances are also under serious stress" he added.
