Cheshire East Council wish to commission a Genealogy Service in relation to public funerals, estates/money held by the Council and for debt revovery purposes, following a death. Cheshire East Council has a statutory duty, under the Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984, to provide suitable funeral arrangements for anybody who has died within the Cheshire East area and where there is no one else prepared to make suitable funeral arrangements. In addition, to public funerals the Council also acts as financial advocates for a number of vulnerable residents of the borough and when they pass away there is a requirement to ensure their estate/assets are passed to those end to inherit and as part of the Council’s debt recovery process from estates.
