Islington & Camden Cemetery Service renewal
Islington Council has approved the renewal of the joint cemetery and cremation service agreement with Camden Council for another decade.
Islington Council approved the renewal of its joint cemetery and cremation service agreement with Camden Council in February 2026, ensuring the continued operation of the Islington & Camden Cemetery Service (ICCS) for another decade. This decision maintains the core operational principles of the existing partnership, which has been in place for over 20 years.
Under the renewed agreement, the ICCS will continue as a shared service across both boroughs, with Islington acting as the Lead Authority. Financial management will operate through a ring-fenced trading account, and each council will retain ownership of its land and buildings, with annual client contributions.
