We are lobbying the Government to make us an essential service, because at present funeral services are NOT considered essential. If we run out of fuel our transfer vehicle won’t be able to collect your loved one. Let that sink in for a moment. We are just getting prepared incase we are affected by these crazy times.
Funeral directors travel significant distances every day to bring loved ones into care and support families through the funeral process. Reliable access to fuel is essential to ensure these services continue without disruption.
As the peak national body, Funerals Australia is advocating to State and Federal Ministers for funeral services to be recognised as an essential service in any fuel prioritisation arrangements, helping ensure families can continue to receive care when they need it most.
Please join us in advocating for recognition of funeral services in emergency fuel planning. But let’s hope we do not get to the point where we have a real fuel shortage/crises. 🙏🙏
