Work to maps, forms and planning applications
We're doing some work to online maps, forms and the planning system tomorrow (Tuesday 21 May). This means you won't be able to access them for the day. This does not affect council tax or rent payments.
Find organisations that can help you arrange a funeral or cremation.
Arranging a funeral or cremation is usually the responsibility of the Executor of the will or nearest surviving relative.
The person responsible for arranging a funeral or cremation must first register the death with Kent County Council.
You might want to employ a professional funeral director. To find one in your area visit the National Association of Funeral Directors website.
You can arrange a funeral without a funeral director.
If you want to do this you can get advice from the Natural Death Centre or speak to our cemeteries team.
Once a cremation has taken place cremated remains can be buried or scattered in our cemeteries on request.
Remains can be buried in existing family graves, in half graves, or in the Gardens of Remembrance. The scattering of ashes takes place in woodland areas.
You are not allowed to scatter or bury cremated remains without asking permission.
