Introduce statutory regulation and licensing for funeral homes and mortuaries.

Introduce statutory regulation and licensing for funeral homes and mortuaries. — 6 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

Introduce primary legislation to establish a statutory licensing, regulatory, and inspection framework for all funeral directors and mortuary facilities in England and Wales.

Additional details

Unlike Scotland, anyone in England & Wales can run a funeral home or mortuary without a license or inspection. Voluntary codes fail to protect grieving families and dignified care. We call for primary legislation enforcing: Statutory Standards: Legally binding rules on mortuary temperature, security & body tracking. Price Transparency: Mandatory itemized pricing & owner disclosures. Independent Regulator: A statutory body to license, inspect, fine & close non-compliant facilities.
