Having been shown much disrespect by the ‘authorities’ and an appointed funeral undertaker, when losing my son as a result of the injuries he sustained as a passenger in a vehicle collision, I created a campaign for the Rights of the Bereaved.

Many would not like to think so, but we are all potential victims to bereavement.

Hi Teresa,
−
I am striving to raise awareness about ones private and consumer rights if/when faced with a death.
 
  
−
In knowing ones rights, it helps to understand ones options to make an informed decision to who will care for the deceased and in making arrangements for a funeral, that extend beyond the need to using the services of a funeral undertaker (currently known as a funeral director).
+
good work on the MP's.  Can you try and add categories at the foot of the page as appropriate? the formatting is as follows:
  
−
My campaign is diverse, but focused on dispelling the ‘assumptions’ that people are aware of their rights and I am especially mindful of the public that may be bereaved to  suicide, nd other sudden traumatic death.
+
<nowiki>[[Category:MP|Lastname, Firstname]][[Category:British Politician|Lastname, Firstname]]</nowiki>
  
−
I aim to convince the relevant public officials, that education to know what to do in the event of a death is, as valuable as the education afforded to us about many other private and, consumer related issues pertaining to life.
+
A full list of current categories is here [[Special:Categories|Categories]]
  
−
I have established evidence to suggest that public officials have relied upon bodies of the funeral trade for direction, when preparing literature for guidance to the bereaved.
+
I see there is already a 'Funeral Industry' category and you might discuss with claire which other Funeral related categories could or should be created
−
Whilst there is some published information on personal rights available, this is more obvious to professionals, the dying and their families.
 
  
−
What has also become obvious to me is, that many make assumptions that the funeral undertaker will provide the bereaved with personalised support and guidance needed at a very difficult time, which in some instances has resulted in the bereaved being misguided, coerced and taken advantage of, which I equate to abuse.
+
Also can you make sure that you insert redirects in pages which have slightly differing titles.  eg [[All-Party Parliamentary Group for Funerals & Bereavement]].  If you go to that page and insert<nowiki>#redirect[[All-Party Parliamentary Group for Funerals and Bereavement]]</nowiki> that will make sure that the page redirects to the correct page whenever it appears in this differing form/
  
−
With the vast majority of people purchasing the services of a funeral undertaker, it is now time to give proper consideration to the most vulnerable – those who are forced to use this service.
+
Also can you add <nowiki>==Notes==
−
In law they are the ‘consumer’, in real term, they are the bereaved, and far more vulnerable than a mere consumer purchasing general goods and services.
 
  
−
Your rights are the same as any other purchase of service and goods, from dry cleaning to hairdressing etc. Statutory rights are protected under the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 / the Sale of Goods Act 1979 / the Supply of Goods and Service Act 1982 / the Unfair terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999 and in general contract law, but funeral contracts are more specially dealt with.
+
<references/></nowiki> at the bottom of each page so that the references show up?
−
There also exists the Common Law whereby it can be considered a civil and criminal offence to commit an indignity upon the dead, or prevent a decent burial (please refer to Contract section)
 
  
−
The Milton Keynes Citizen News (2007), reported my own unfortunate experience, to be one of the most remarkable ever to be heard in Milton Keynes County Court.

thanks again

I believed that I lived in a society that had a lawful democratic system, to protect the vulnerable public when at need, but I sense that the ‘system’ remarkably let me down, in many different ways.

Hi Theresa, thanks very much for the MP APPG updates. There seems to however be some formatting issues with the references in the They Work for Us links - these are coming up as numerals eg see below next to the initial arrow.:

Hi Teresa,

good work on the MP's. Can you try and add categories at the foot of the page as appropriate? the formatting is as follows:

[[Category:MP|Lastname, Firstname]][[Category:British Politician|Lastname, Firstname]]

A full list of current categories is here Categories

I see there is already a 'Funeral Industry' category and you might discuss with claire which other Funeral related categories could or should be created

Also can you make sure that you insert redirects in pages which have slightly differing titles. eg All-Party Parliamentary Group for Funerals & Bereavement. If you go to that page and insert#redirect[[All-Party Parliamentary Group for Funerals and Bereavement]] that will make sure that the page redirects to the correct page whenever it appears in this differing form/

Also can you add ==Notes== <references/> at the bottom of each page so that the references show up?

thanks again
