Funeral information
Some key points to remember when attending funerals:
- The number of mourners in attendance is limited to 15 so a safe distance of at least 2 metres (6 ft) can be maintained between individuals. Numbers should be minimised as far as possible.
- Alongside the Funeral Director and funeral staff, the only mourners that should attend are members of the person’s household, close family members or if the above are unable to attend, close friends
- A celebrant can attend should the bereaved require this.
- The guidance also allows for mourners to attend even if they are self-isolating due to a possible case of coronavirus (COVID-19) in their household, or if they are extremely clinically vulnerable.
Anyone who is showing symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19), typically with a new continuous cough or a high temperature, should not attend the funeral due to the risk that they pose to others.
