Increased burial fees in Brent

Tonight's Evening Standard reported on increased burial fees charged by many London councils. These rises have been criticised as a "death tax". Brent Council will raise its plot fees to £2,140 (for residents) and £3,615 (for non residents). These charges may be compared with those at Brookwood: £2,200 (for unselected plots), £2,500 (for selected plots), £3,200 (for front row). These prices apply to most areas in Brookwood Cemetery and include a 50 year deed of grant as standard.
