At long last, after the Hull Funeral Directors Scandal, the government has started the procedures to inspect and regulate all Funeral Directors in the United Kingdom. We see this as a positive move to ensure that the deceased and all grieving families get the care and respect that they deserve.
This is not going to happen overnight, nor will it be an easy task for those made responsible for the regulation, so in the meantime there are questions you can ask to ensure that your chosen Funeral Director is right for you.
Many people already have in mind their chosen Funeral Director. If your nearest and dearest has to go into nursing care, the Nursing Homes will ask for your preference so that they may be contacted at the time of need.
The first and most important thing to ask is how long they have been established and what is their reputation.
Do they belong to any of the recognised trade bodies, check the logos – any of the official trade bodies inspect and ensure that the Funeral Directors follow a strict code of conduct, they also keep them informed of the latest regulation, updates and procedures. With the internet you can easily look up SAIF – the Society of Allied and Independent Funeral Directors or NAFD – National Association of Funeral Directors.
An internet search of individuals may set your mind at rest.
Ultimately, Funeral Directing is a privilege, it is a caring profession and we want to help.
Most independent Funeral Directors are more than happy to meet with you, for an informal chat, before the time of need, to set your mind at rest, explain exactly what will happen, show you their premises and where you loved one will lay at rest, before their chosen funeral.
There is a place for Direct Cremation, but consider the implications. You will not be there to witness this final journey, and talking to Ministers and Grief Counsellors they are reporting increased numbers of people requiring help as they feel they have not been allowed to grieve or had closure on the death of a loved one.
Church services, burials, cremation, non religious venues, cars, order of service sheets, flowers, newspaper and social media announcements, memorials, fingerprints, webcasts, photo tributes, interment of ashes, ashes for jewellery or tattoos, the list is endless of the role of the Funeral Director and the many things they can help you with, just ask. We are here to help. For further information or if you would like to talk to us please call us on 01761 412046 , email at enquires@bryangbishop.co.uk or head to our website www.bryangbishop.co.uk ...
