There is ongoing discussion with funeral directors and other key partners, including at regular borough and London-wide multi-agency group meetings on capacity issues.
Government advice has been clear that numbers attending funerals will need to be severely restricted and funeral directors are making this clear to families as a crucial public health issue, but this does also help to manage some capacity management concerns too.
Despite the extra pressures being faced, ensuring that those who have passed away are treated with care and compassion remains a top priority, as does supporting families through such a difficult time.
