Funeral Directors Association comment
Funeral Directors Association chief executive Gillian Boyes said the firm had not applied to be a member of the association. It is not a legal requirement to be registered with the association.
Potential members needed to meet strict criteria, including having a national qualification in funeral directing and being employed by a firm that is currently a member of the association or an affiliate member firm.
They also needed to be in business for a certain period. However, it is not a legal requirement for a funeral director to be registered with the association.
