Bedford Bereavement Care are full members of The Charter for the Bereaved. The Charter identifies 33 rights.
The Charter:
- is a commitment to improving the service by confronting, rather than disguising, the death experience and by reducing ignorance;
- is intended to define the rights of every individual who experiences bereavement;
- will set standards of service related to burial, cremation and funerals generally. It is a written statement of what can be expected and this can act as a measure for judging the service received;
- recognises that bereavement services are critical to the health of the nation. That the benefits of a meaningful funeral are immeasurable, influencing both the physical and mental wellbeing of us all;
- will give the bereaved greater influence over the arrangement of funerals, thereby controlling costs and offering more satisfaction.
