Council to charge more for overweight burial plots
It will now cost families £2,700 if they need to buy a 6ft wide plot, a 20% increase on the cost of a standard 5ft grave.
Wolverhampton City Council says it’s simply responding to demand for larger graves in an area where obesity levels are higher than the national average, but the move has been condemned by some funeral directors and people who live there.
