Belfast City Council said it is investigating an incident which occurred at a burial at Roselawn cemetery on Saturday.
“This matter has also been reported to the PSNI. It would not be appropriate to comment further at this time,” a spokesperson added.
It follows reports of a separate incident earlier this year, in which an image emerged appearing to show masked men inside Roselawn crematorium.
In May, Belfast City Council said it was “looking into” how three masked loyalists were allowed to put on a “show of strength” inside the local authority’s crematorium during the funeral of a UDA man.
Andrew ‘Andy’ Best from the Limestone Road in north Belfast died on April 13, following a lengthy illness.
Best was a former member of the UDA’s 3rd Battalion based in Tigers Bay.
In the last years of his life, Best — who was well known in the Tigers Bay area — was in and out of hospital suffering from a chronic illness.
The 58-year-old was cremated at Roselawn following a funeral service at his Limestone Road home on April 23.
Six masked men in paramilitary uniforms carried his coffin, and floral tributes included one from the ‘Officers and members of the North Belfast UDA’ naming him as a volunteer whose “service and sacrifice will never be forgotten”.
At the time Sinn Fein councillor Ronan McLaughlin said he was “shocked” at this display of masked men in paramilitary uniform taking place inside Belfast City Council’s crematorium.
A spokesperson for the council said it was aware of reports relating to a funeral at Roselawn Crematorium on Tuesday, April 23, and was looking into the circumstances of it.
A spokesperson for the PSNI said they are aware of images “depicting what appear to be masked men at a funeral, which is believed to have taken place in Belfast on April 23”.
“An investigation into the images will now take place,” added the PSNI.
