There is no formal requirement for funerals, burials or cremations to be cancelled on the day of the Queen’s funeral, though some services are being cancelled at the request of individual families.
Further to this statement the NAFD told Full Fact: “Funeral service is a 24/7 profession and all bereaved families deserve the same level of care and support. There will, sadly, be families who lose a loved [one] on the day of the [Queen’s] funeral, or who have a loved one that is already in the care of a funeral home.
A spokesperson added that they had heard anecdotal reports that some crematoriums would be closing on the day of the State Funeral as all scheduled funerals had been postponed at the request of the families, and no new services were being booked for that day. They added: “However, each cemetery and crematorium operator can make their own decision about whether they will be remaining open or closing on the day of the State Funeral. Some are remaining open, and some are closing.”
