@NAFDPresident Hi - I have asked the @NAFD_UK a few times to share the number of inspections they complete in a 12 month period - to be met with silence.
Please can you tell me?
Thanks

@NAFDPresident @UpholdersLivery @sidecarhearses Is that the Adam Ginder of @GinderFunerals who runs a business that thinks it is okay to charge families £200 to visit their special person?
Outrageous.
£200 charge to see a family member at peace. 😡

On 19th I attended the Worshipful Company of Upholders dinner @UpholdersLivery at the wonderful Trinity House overlooking the Tower of London. I enjoyed the company of Marian @sidecarhearses along with funeral directors Adam Ginder and Paul J King in an evening steeped in history

@GreatFunerals @winstonswish @cbukhelp @goodgrieftrust We see a lot more children come to our Funeral Home Services.
It’s a lot to do with venue and how you present the service.
We often show children round our place in the lead up to a funeral. They ask the best questions.
Traditional is scary. Modern is celebratory.
English
Children at funerals.
We’re big supporters of this.
With careful preparation and conversations beforehand, children can definitely be part of the funeral of someone important in their lives.
For advice and resources:

@NationalSAIF “We” think it’s a bad idea… but you don’t think it’s a bad idea that 50% of SAIF members charge families for viewing their special person
At an average price of £99.
So £99 to view is okay… but £80 for a Crematorium to charge is not okay.
Hmmm….

Tune in to BBC Radio Somerset from 7.30am tomorrow. SAIF 1st Vice President Ross Hickton will be talking about council plans to charge bereaved families an extra £80 to ensure loved ones are cremated on the same day as their service. Spoiler alert: we think it's a bad idea.

@FuneralSolExprt @NAFD_UK @NationalSAIF Hi Simon - out of interest how do you define “massive engagement”?
400 FDs doesn’t sound like a lot but not sure what that would be as a percentage, any idea?
Tnx
English
Thanks you to all the Funeral Directors that took part in our 4th annual survey

We are now deep into the analysis phase
Thank you as ever to @NAFD_UK for promoting to their members and for the first time @NationalSAIF

The Funerals and Bereavement APPG are pleased to share that the group has been reconstituted following the General Election. We held the inaugural meeting with the Chair, @CatSmithMP, to discuss the issues facing the sector and look forward to continuing our work in this area.

Inflation busting price rise by local crematorium. 😡
Most popular service days increased in price the most.☹️
Never mind cost of living crisis- we need to talk about the cost of dying crisis.

@Savefuneralcost “and offering essential services such as limousines, hearses”
Since when was a limousine an essential service for a funeral?
As for hearses, the only people that actually want to use them and the traditional funeral firms that have a big shiny fleet of cars.

@MarkAdamsHC It needs to change and yup agree it is changing.
I’m relatively knew to it and think it’s needing a real good shake up.
English
@WhyteBridee1 I think it's changing though.
There's a lot of progressive folk working in the industry too though.
English
Every funeral should be tailored in this way….
This is nothing whatsoever to do with humanists.
It’s how it should be.
Mark Adams@MarkAdamsHC
A Humanist Funeral is tailored to the wishes of the person who has died and their family. Get in touch if you'd like more info.
English
@MarkAdamsHC Normally because the traditional undertakers have their check list of profitable things that they “encourage” bereaved families to do…
The industry perpetuates a lot of funeral behaviour as it’s all about the money for them.
English
@WhyteBridee1 I agree, but that's often not the case, unfortunately.

@thismorning It’s all about the venue.
We have created the perfect venue for this celebratory funeral.
You should come and see us. You’ll be surprised.
Funeral Home Services. The Future.

More than half of funeral directors said they are seeing a move away from traditional funerals in favour of ‘celebrations of life’ services! Would you choose a 'feel good' funeral?
English
@coopukpress @CoopFuneralcare It’s all about the venue.
And look at the image on those article. It looks nothing like a celebration.
You should come and see what we’ve done to a funeral home you gave up.
Things are changing.

This Morning discussed the concept that funerals are becoming a celebration of life during their newspaper roundup, referencing the findings in Trending Tributes, @CoopFuneralcare's new Funeral Trends report!
