The Muslim community in Hyndburn (Accrington area) have requested a more flexible approach to burials. The Muslim community usually request burials on the same day or day after a bereavement and the Council would like to provide for short notice burials at weekends and bank holidays. The Council is seeking a contractor able to undertake grave digging operations for weekends and bank holidays (excluding Xmas Day and New Years day) throughout the year so that burials can take place when Council staff are not available. It is likely that some of the burials will be planned during the week leading up to a weekend, however the majority of weekend or bank holiday burials will be due to bereavements on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday. As such there will be a need for a contractor to have staff on standby in case of a weekend or bank holiday bereavement relating to someone from the Muslim community in Hyndburn (Accrington area). Based on current numbers the Council estimates there will be up to 6 weekend/bank holiday burials per year. However this may change dependent on death rates.
