DMAG has established that the vast majority of funeral services booked for next Monday (19th) will go ahead if that is the families’ wish, contrary to claims that there would be widespread cancellations.

@DMAG2020 were privileged to have @LucyGoBag join our meeting as we prepare to be a core participant and expert witness to C-19 Inquiry @NationalSAIF.
I continue to be in awe of the work done by @DMAG2020 in pandemic and beyond. Their website is an incredible archive detailing their innovation. As a society we don’t fully understand the debt we owe dmag2020.org
DMAG members had a productive meeting last week to discuss their work for the future, post-pandemic, including preparing for the COVID-19 inquiry. @cremsoc @NAFD_UK @NAFDCEO @InstituteCCM @funeralsupplier @NationalSAIF APCC FBCA

Excess death management in pandemic was a Home Office workstream (not DHSC as often presumed) but area ceased to provide any guidance or workshops after 2018. Local planners have been using older (still valid) work and have been expertly advised by organisations like @DMAG2020
