Article summary

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) and Public Health England has updated their guidance on attending or arranging funerals during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The guidance has been updated to reflect the current period of regulation changes made on 29 March 2021 and 12 April 2021. According to the guidance, funeral ceremonies both indoors and outdoors, must have no more than 30 people attending while the number of those attending commemorative events has increased to up to 15. However, the actual number of those able to attend depends on how many people can be safely accommodated within the venue to allow for social distancing to take place and where a risk assessment has been carried out.
