The Bereavement Services Manager provided Members of the Llwydcoed Crematorium Joint Committee with the opportunity to consider and where appropriate respond to the RCT Strategy for Bereavement Services in Rhondda Cynon Taf 2024-2034. Members wished to commend the Bereavement Services for creating the Strategy which sets out the Council’s commitment to maintenance and development of high-quality bereavement services in the County. They expressed interested in the ongoing development of the Strategy. Members raised concerns of additional building works on Graded buildings. The Bereavement Services Manager acknowledged the difficulties coordinating works on Graded structures but assured that no planned works will require amendments to Graded structures. Members commented on the impact advertisements from private sector offering direct cremations. The Bereavement Services Manager responded that ongoing efforts are being made to inform residents about the Council’s services, which could bring efficiencies in reducing carbon footprint and promoting local businesses. Members expressed interest in the adjustment to the scheduling of services, highlighting the additional time of services will better accommodate the level of service residents require. The Bereavement Services Manager added, the new schedule of services will improve utility efficiencies and allow more cremations to take place. Following consideration of the information contained within the report of the Bereavement Services Manager it was further RESOLVED; • Consider as a Committee the strategy in reference to the cremations aspects of the strategy, as appended at Appendix 1 to the report Request the Service Director for Democratic Services & Communications, Rhondda Cynon Taff, to provide the feedback of the Joint Committee to the Council to the Director of Public Health, Protection and Community Services for consideration in the future review and ongoing monitoring of the Strategy.

Rhaid i gynghorwyr ddweud pan fydd ganddyn nhw gysylltiad personol â rhywbeth sy'n cael ei drafod, fel swydd, eiddo neu aelod o'r teulu. Mae buddiant sy'n rhagfarnu yn ddigon cryf i'r cynghorydd adael yr ystafell fel arfer a pheidio â chymryd rhan.
Caiff datganiadau eu darllen o'r cofnodion unwaith y byddan nhw wedi'u cyhoeddi.
Yn rhestru cynghorwyr presennol y cyngor yn unig. Nid yw aelodau cyfetholedig, swyddogion a chyn-gynghorwyr yn cael eu dangos.
