Shortage of Burial Plots Identified in the UK

A recent survey by BBC has highlighted the urgent need for burial plots in the UK.

 

Shortage of Burial Plots in the UK

358 local authorities responded to the BBC's survey and this identified a number of interesting statistics. A number of cemeteries advised that they believed they will run out of space within 5 years or less.

 

Certain cemeteries have advised that they are already full and both urban and rural areas are affected.

 

The survey, however, revealed as many as 44% of the cemeteries believe they will be full within 20 years and 25% say they will run out of space within 10 years.

 

Local authorities are unable to cope; therefore, this has presented an opportunity for the private sector to fill the gap. With a rising population, demand is expected to grow and with limited supply, the value of these burial plots is set to rise.
