You asked
Please could you provide me with the number of cremations and burials in the UK for the years 2015 through to 2022 as at 31 December for each year.
We said
Thank you for your request
We publish mortality statistics in England and Wales based on the information supplied when a death is registered. Unfortunately, we do not hold information about burial or cremation, as this is not supplied during the registration of a death.
Burial information is available from local authorities and parish councils.
Cremation statistics are available online from the cremation society of Great Britain: https://www.cremation.org.uk/statistics.
