The @CMAgovUK has published the appendices to its Provisional Decision Report which provide the important context and rationale to its decisions. Funeral firms are urged to read what's proposed and, where possible, respond by the deadline of 10 Sept: gov.uk/cma-cases/funerals-ma…

The government has updated its guidance and will now require face coverings to be worn by visitors to #funeral homes in England from 8 August. gov.uk/government/publicatio…

We have yet to be notified that the restrictions in England on #funeral attendance will be relaxed. But it makes no sense if you can attend a wedding, a restaurant or a bar with people who the current regs would forbid you from attending a funeral. Time for change.

Extremely pleased to hear the news from @hmtreasury that, from today, #PPE purchased by care homes, businesses, charities and individuals will be free from VAT for a three-month period. #Covid_19

Delighted to hear #funeraldirectors will be able to access PPE thru local resilience forums. Thank you to @GOVUK & esp @MattHancock & @DHSCgovuk. It will enable FDs to work in confidence & focus on playing their part in the national response to #COVID-19. Checking on Scotland/NI.

Regarding #Covid_19 please be assured that @NAFD_UK is in contact with @cabinetofficeuk and other key departments. Consistency of message is very important during this time. @NAFD_UK will give regular updates of best practice. #whenweknowyouknow

In the absence of statutory regulation, the best protection for the public when it comes to funerals is to use a funeral director who is in membership of SAIF or @NAFD_UK, as only we provide quality assurance programmes backed by independent redress schemes.
