Speaking in the House of Lords on 9 September 2026

Debate

Funeral Directors: Regulatory Regime

Contribution

My Lords, this is much to be welcomed, because a funeral is a very important part of marking the passing of, and respect for, a person. So, in the consultation, will the Government ask hospice bereavement counsellors—specifically those who see people on the ground face to face—for their comments? Often, managerial people higher up in the bereavement service may not know some of the details that have been extremely important to families and that may have caused great offence or may have been particularly helpful, and they can get lost in the retelling as things are passed up the chain.
