£15k spent on paupers' burials in Burnley

BURNLEY Council has spent more than £15,000 since 2004 on so-called ‘paupers’ burials’.

The council is responsible for arranging cremations when no family, or friends, of the deceased can be traced.

The figures were released under the Freedom of Information Act.
