Question 17355 — death and death

Summary

Mr. Antoine Villedieu questions the Minister of Regional Planning and Decentralization on article L. 2213-9 of the CGCT which specifies that burials and exhumations are subject to the authority and police power of mayors. This authority implies a duty of control. However, a control can only be effective if the mayor has the elements and means enabling him to verify that the requested funeral operation would be carried out in all compliance. The exercise of this authority implies that the mayor can ensure that the funeral operations subject to his control are carried out by regularly authorized operators in accordance with the provisions of the CGCT. However, it turns out that since the generalization of the register of funeral operators (ROF), the authorization number, which normally indicates the year in which the authorization is given or renewed, followed by the department and finally the national order number is no longer specified on the list made available by the DGCL. While it is clear that only the lists established by the prefectures are valid, it seems that when renewal occurs, certain departments use the old authorization number, thus distorting the information allowing control. The authorization being given for five years, an authorization whose first digit goes back more than five years suggests that the operator is no longer authorized, which would result in a refusal from the Mayor. The MP therefore asks to please specify whether, during authorization renewals, the ROF number will be a new number, indicating the year of validity or, if the number will remain the old one and, if necessary, the way in which mayors must act to ensure that an operator is authorized to intervene. He asks also if it is possible to establish a uniform document in all prefectures to establish information on authorized funeral operators in order to facilitate the control task assigned to mayors.
