You asked
I would like to know the total number of cremations & burials for 2020 versus the previous 5 years please?
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.
Cremation statistics are available online from the cremation society of Great Britain: https://www.cremation.org.uk/statistics
