Where does your loved one go when a funeral home is instructed?

The funeral industry is not lways as open and transparent as it should be. We believe it should be and slowly it is becoming more and more regulated. We are in great support of this and hope that many more regulations come forwards as time progresses.

We have tried through both of the major trade associations over the last 30 years to incite improved and stricter regulations.
Mrs Joyce Dean fought long and hard as a member of the SAIF national executive committee to bring forth more regulations and was an inspector of funeral home premises as well.

The question of the title of this page is raised often and sometimes not raised because people simply dont want to know, at a time when they are vulnerable and grieving.

It is commmon for funeral homes to have a central hub where deceased are taken to. This might not be in the area of the branch for the funeral home you have chosen. This is true for independents with multiple branches as much as it is for corporate owned homes.

When we collect your loved one we take them to our Formby site and they stay at our Formby site in our chapels of rest and our brand new hospital standard mortuary. We do not take anyone anywhere else for any treatments or presentation.

We believe in transparency of where people are and when they are removed and we strongly support any regulation that makes this compulsory within the industry.

Make sure you ask your funeral director, where is my loved one at all times.
