To provide the Joint Committee with an update on cremation numbers.

The Joint Committee noted the Update on Cremation Numbers.

The number of cremations in 2021/22 reduced from the previous year but it should be noted that the 2020/21 figure was likely to have increased due to the effects of the pandemic.  A more accurate trend on whether the number of cremations is increasing or decreasing will be able to be ascertained over the next year.
