The following must be considered in relation to any comparison or analysis of the number of burials:

  • Not all deaths that occur in ·¬ÇÑÉçÇø result in a funeral taking place at ·¬ÇÑÉçÇø City Council facilities;
  • Some funerals may be for deaths that have been registered outside of ·¬ÇÑÉçÇø;
  • There are other service providers in the city area and several cemeteries and numerous churchyards which are not owned or operated by ·¬ÇÑÉçÇø City Council;
  • The burial statistics do not include the burial of body parts or foetal remains;
  • The burial statistics include the burial or scattering of cremated remains in graves. During the Coronavirus pandemic period, ·¬ÇÑÉçÇø for the burial or scattering of cremated remains were suspended. This will skew the burial figures for 2020 and 2021;
  • A number of cemeteries only offer burials in existing family graves and do not provide new graves.
