Updates To Guidance To Align With Phase 3 Of The Route Map
July 17, 2020 by funeral-industry-news No Comments | Category Burial authorities, Cremation authorities, Funeral directors, Funeral services, Guidance
This week we have updated all our guidance documents to coincide with the wider changes that have come about as a result of moving further into Phase 3 of the Route Map. Changes include the easing of restrictions on funeral service attendance from 15 July, introduction of a maximum cap of 20 attendees at funerals, and information on singing at funeral services, face coverings, and taking contact details to assist with Test and Protect.
Our guidance can be found under the subheading: ‘Places of worship, marriages and civil partnerships, and funerals’ at the main COVID-19 guidance page on our website.
As always, please check for updates at the source. We hold these documents under review.
