Commentary on provisions of the Act Schedule 20: Burial grounds Records
Paragraph 8 sets out the records required to be kept by the nominated undertaker as respects human remains or monuments removed under the Schedule. Records as to the removal of remains must be provided to the Registrar General within two months of their removal and records of the removal of a monument must be provided both to the Registrar General and to the relevant local authority. In the case of remains where the Secretary of State has given a notification under paragraph 1 the period of two months is extended to 12 months, or such longer period as the Secretary of State may direct, to enable archaeological or other studies to be carried out where appropriate.
