Heartbroken families will postpone send-offs for their loved ones for weeks unless ministers relax the rules, funeral directors have warned.
The cruel 30-person cap on mourners saying a final farewell is set to stay in place until June 21 under current restrictions.
But families may decide to delay funerals so they can give their loved one the send-off they deserve, the National Society of Allied Independent Funeral Directors (SAIF) said. CEO Terry Tennens told the Mail: The danger is that families will start postponing funerals next month and wait until June 21 or thereafter, when in theory the restrictions will be lifted.
