Freedom of information requests about public health funerals
We understand that you may have questions about funerals that are arranged by the Council under the Public Health (Control of Diseases) Act 1984. That's why we're providing this information to help you understand the process.
We get requests for information about these funerals through the Freedom of Information (FOI) process. To help reduce the number of FOI requests we receive, we're publishing this information for everyone to see. That way, you can find the information you need without having to make an FOI request.
Details of the deceased person
The information below is all of the information that we hold in relation to Public Health funerals. Please note that we're not the only public body that refers cases to the Government Legal Department for the district of Rotherham.

The Council does not disclose the address for the deceased person's property. This is because we consider that the release of the full address and/or value of estate of the deceased may provide an opportunity for a crime to be committed. Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 the non-disclosure of this information is supported by the engagement of exemption Section 31(1)(a) (Law enforcement – prevention and detection of crime).
Estate Administration
The Treasury Solicitor secures the assets of deceased persons, when:
- there are no apparent living relatives and
- when the estate stands at a certain amount after funeral expenses have been paid
You can look at the Treasury Solicitor's Department website to find out how they deal with these estates.
In terms of the Council, please note that:
- We never give money or property to any family member or friend (unless we are legally directed to do so by the proper authority).
- We can recover our costs as detailed in the Public Health Act Funeral Policy.
- We do not administer the deceased’s estate, but we do recover the costs of the funeral.
