3/3 I know, like the NHS, the past year has been a challenging time for funeral directors, but your contribution is not often so widely recognised as that of the NHS, so I am grateful to @NAFDCEO for giving me this opportunity to send you all my sincere thanks & best wishes."

"The #funeral sector is often made up of unsung heroes within the community, with much of their work unseen by the public. The government recognises the hard work of the sector & appreciates its dedication through the particular challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic." - @MoJGovUK
