The Council hopes that the information provided is suffcient to answer any queries, but should you require further information, pleas contact cemeteries@fareham.gov.uk
In accordance with the Freedom of Information Act 2000 addresses and dates of birth have been withheld under the following two exemptions:
Section 31(1)(a) - Law Enforcement
Pleade note that the Council is withholding release of information relating to the deceased persons address, as this is likely to relate to an empty property and may still contain the deceased's personal belongings and effects. We believe that this information is exempt under Section 31(1)(a) of the Freedom of Information Act which refers to Law Enforcement. The Council has undertaken the public interest test in respect of this, and it can be made available upon request at Information@fareham.gov.uk
Section 21 - Information Accessible to Applicants by Other Means
The Council can confirm that it holds further information, such as dates of birth, but does not accept that it holds the information in its own right, but on behalf of the Treasury Solicitors department. 
All births and deaths have to be registered with the Register Office.
