Paragraph 1 and Part I of the Schedule establish a new table for fees payable for certain matters in connection with baptisms, marriages and burials, for the erection of monuments in churchyards and for other miscellaneous matters. The fees are in substitution for the fees prescribed by the Parochial Fees Order 2004 (S.I. 2004/1890).

The definition of “burial” for the purposes of the Schedule, which appears in paragraph 3 of the Order, has also been slightly amended to include an express reference to deposit in the type of structure known as a “brick grave” as well as to deposit in a vault.
