Burial Registers abbreviations

Hello,

Does anybody know what the abbreviations of Con and FC relate to in a burial register?

Many thanks,

Hi,

What country does this refer to?   Con might mean consecrated ground; no ideas about FC.

They are used in England.

I've just read that FC might refer to a Full Service Cremation.
