	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/01/2018 answer text <p>Guidance for coroners is issued by the Chief Coroner.</p><p> </p><p>The needs of those faiths which require early burial can only be fully met if coroners provide an out of hours service. In his Annual Report for 2016-2017 the Chief Coroner recommended that coroner areas should provide an out of hours service but that they should normally do so on a ‘light touch’ basis. He went on to say however that “in some areas an out of hours service will require more, particularly in order to assist families who seek early burial for their loved ones”.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, the Ministry of Justice’s <em>Guide to Coroner Services, </em>which is available on gov.uk and is aimed in particular at bereaved families, says that “the coroner’s office will take account where possible of individuals’ views and expectations, including family and community preferences, traditions and religious requirements relating to mourning, post-mortem examinations and funerals”.</p> answering member constituency Bracknell answering member printed Dr Phillip Lee question first answered 15/01/2018 14:49:09 answering member 3921 label Biography information for Dr Phillip Lee
