Funeral Service

1.2The Contractor will be required to conduct basic cremations and burials as instructed by the Trust. Funerals will be conducted in a professional manner, with punctuality, decency, decorum, and respect whether mourners are in attendance or not. All the arrangements for the funeral will be made in accordance with the requirements of the Trust. The Trust's Patient Registration Department or other nominated location is to be informed of such arrangements at least 72 hours before the time of the funeral. Where arrangements involve the funeral of a child, the Hospital Chaplaincy is to be contacted to establish if any pastoral support is being provided to those concerned. Except for NVF's (non-viable Foetus), unless otherwise directed, a minister of the appropriate religion shall attend.
