Had the privilege to attend another meeting at Stormont helping address the challenges facing the bereaved and Funeral Directors in Northern Ireland.
We are delighted to announce the first meeting yesterday of the newly convened All Party Group (APG) for Funerals and Bereavement at the Northern Ireland Assembly, with the secretariat fully funded by the NAFD.
The group contains a vibrant mix of funeral directors, embalmers and Members of the Legislative Assembly.
On the agenda were Competition and Markets Authority non-compliance and the taxi licensing legislation review. The group also decided action points around the ongoing delays to two new chapels of rest at Roselawn Crematorium in Belfast and the delays in implementing cremation regulations.
This was a very positive meeting, which bodes well for the future. Keep an eye on our channels to hear more, especially in early Autumn when we've pencilled in the next meeting.
