Bedford Borough Council - Bereavement Services Department 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.
