COVID-19

General Information

Plan B restrictions ended on 27th January 2022, however most service venues are still requesting face masks to be worn, unless exempt. We would still appreciate the use of facemasks when visiting our offices.

We will continue to wear face masks whenever we meet with you and at all services, as we have throughout.

Cremation

At the North Devon Crematorium the current rules are:

  • A maximum of 162 mourners at the service. Unrestricted numbers can be outside.
  • Face masks will be required to be worn inside the chapel, unless exempt, this includes those working.
  • Social distancing should be maintained from anyone outside of your household.
  • Anyone who has tested positive or who is required to self isolate are not able to attend the service at the crematorium, regardless of relationship to the deceased.
  • Singing is currently permitted.
  • Seating will still be spaced out so those wishing to have more space can.


For those unable to attend for whatever reason:

  • Webcast is available with live, 28 day playback & recorded DVD's to allow those who cannot attend still participate in the service.


Burials

Burials can take place, with graveside services being an alternative to having a service within a church, if you are feeling uneasy about being in an enclosed space.

At the graveside service we can still have a full service, with a minister or celebrant of your choice, service sheets, readings & music. We have our own P.A. system, so those speaking can be heard, and music can be played.

Church Services

Churches are now still open. Each church has varying factors to consider as to the maximum number of mourners that can be in attendance.

We will confirm any restrictions with you for the Church chosen at the time of the arrangement.

Memorial Services

We can now assist in arranging memorial services for anyone who has had a funeral restricted during the pandemic. 


There is no charge from us for arranging a memorial service, there may be a charge from some churches and the crematorium for this. To find out more please don't hesitate to contact us on the numbers below.

Disclaimer

The information above is accurate as of 1st February 2022, and is subject to change at short notice, as guidelines and regulation changes for the government, local authority, or local crematoria and churches.
