Today we held a great joint meeting with the CPG for Funerals and Bereavement. We heard from their Chair, Mark Isherwood, about the sector in Wales.

It was an engaging discussion about how we can solve some of the issues the sector faces at a devolved and national level.

The group heard from Sir Jonathan Michael who chaired the Fuller Inquiry and had insightful discussions around funeral director regulation.
