Illustration for Burial and Cremation Act 1964

You need to know some laws are being repealed. The laws listed in Schedule 2 are being repealed. Some old regulations will still work under this new Act. You will still follow some old rules. These rules were made under old laws, but they will now work under this new Act. Any references to these old rules will now mean the new rules. Some money and investments will still be used as they were before. This is because they were being used under an old law that is being repealed. The Minister can approve using this money to maintain or improve a cemetery. Repealing some laws will not affect some cemeteries. These cemeteries were already set apart as lawn cemeteries before this new Act. Any rules made for these cemeteries will still be valid.
