I would like the latest data available relating to the number of funeral directors, the number of embalmers, the number of funeral service organisations, and the locations of these businesses (this is data is the priority and if it can be released ASAP that would be ideal). If there are data about the fees charged by local authorities to register as a funeral director and the fees charged by funeral service organisations, that would also be helpful.

Lack of data about the sector.

Improving our analysis of the sector.
