Petition To ensure that all funeral directors undergo a criminal records check (CRB/DBS).

Funeral directors are unregulated and do not need any background checks before starting a business. They have access to people at their most vunerable and their homes when removing deceased. A criminal records check should be the least they can do before expecting us to put our trust in them.

More details

The national association of funeral directors has confirmed that there is not governing body regulating funeral directors. This is very worrying.
