We are pleased to announce the release of Essential Law for Cemetery and Crematorium Managers 2025, which replaces the earlier edition published June 2021 and which became Amazon’s best selling business law book within days of publication.
So far as we are aware, it still remains the only book on the UK market dealing with this particular aspect of law. The Institute of Cemetery and Crematorium Management, which represents the cemetery and crematorium industries in the UK, commissioned the publication of this book, as it did the earlier version. The book is priced at £46.00 for the paperback.
Ebook and hardback versions are also planned for the new year and we will keep you updated regarding this. The earlier version, published June 2021, has now been withdrawn from sale. Updated content includes: new arrangements for death certification, following adoption of the statutory medical examiner system on 9 September, 2024; future legal changes regarding re-use of existing graves, which are expected as a result of the Law Commission consultation on burial and cremation launched 3rd October 2024 which is currently underway; as well as recent case law concerning the interpretation of burial rights and involving a well-known London cemetery. The book also includes three real-life case studies on matters in which ICCM has recently been asked to advise.
