Ian recently joined with members other members of SAIF Northern Ireland to take park in an education day. Speakers from across the UK’s funeral sector discussed funeral plans, marketing, grief and regulation.

The introduction of government funeral legislation in Scotland was celebrated as a great step forward for the safeguarding of the deceased and their families. It is the collective hope of SAIF members that regulation can soon be implemented in England, Wales and Northern Ireland (something Ian has strongly encouraged since his term in office as the National President of the NAFD).

Education is important to maintain and progress the level of care we are able to give families, our thanks goes to SAIF for organising this event and  Golden Charter Funeral Plans WJ Kenyon Group and Obitus for sponsoring it.
