Palliative Care
Palliative care is an essential part of the wider end-of-life journey, offering physical, emotional and spiritual support to individuals with life-limiting illnesses. For funeral directors, arrangers and other professionals across the UK funeral sector, awareness of palliative care developments helps ensure seamless coordination with hospices, hospitals and families. Funeral Service Times provides sector-specific coverage of palliative care policy, funding, service delivery and cross-sector collaboration, along with operational insights and features highlighting the evolving role of care providers. Our reporting supports the professional responsibilities of funeral staff in working sensitively alongside those delivering final-stage care.
