We asked

We will do everything practicable to ensure that the service provided by Bereavement Services are satisfactory and meet our service user requirements. Please tell us your comments/suggestions relating to the service

You said

1. Flowers for services any day apart from Friday are left in place longer

2. When we lost our baby at 22 weeks pregnant, the certificate of cremation referred to  non-viable foetal remains. Why could age section not read 22 weeks gestation?

3. The wooden temporary grave marker seems rather small for the price. I think it should be 50% larger.

We did

1. All flowers are left for seven days prior to removal, regardless of upon which day the service occurred.

2. Cremation certificates now show the gestation age of a baby.

3. Larger grave markers are available.
