Statute overview

About this statute

Los Consejos Comarcales y órganos comarcales pueden ejercer ciertas competencias municipales under specified procedures, and direct supramunicipal funeral services if the program and required authorizations allow it. Funeral service providers are subject to inspection by competent regional and local authorities, and the regional services must report the inspection to the local council or, where applicable, the county council. This article lists funeral-service infractions, classifies them as very serious, serious, or minor, and lets municipal rules add details without creating new offences. The mayor or, where applicable, the county council president may sanction offences under the law, and local councils may revoke business authorizations after repeated very serious offences. Funeral services are treated as an essential service of general interest and may be provided by public administration, public companies, or private companies, in competition.
