Re: local authority started their own funeral business

Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984 / Disposal of Dead Bodies:

It shall be the duty of a local authority to cause to be buried or cremated the body of any person who has died or been found dead in their area, in any case where it appears to the authority that no suitable arrangements for the disposal of the body have been or are being made otherwise than by the authority.

Presumably they did not like the prices at the local undertakers.
