It concluded that current arrangements in England’s funeral sector were “partial and ineffective” and recommended the creation of an independent regulator.
The MPs also said ministers should back amendments to the upcoming Health Bill “to establish a clear, statutory regulatory framework for funeral directors”.

Following Bush’s sentencing, Cooper described his actions as “utterly abhorrent”, adding “my thoughts are with all the bereaved families in Hull who have been so badly let down.”
She said the government would bring forward comprehensive proposals to ensure respect and dignity for the deceased in every setting, including proper regulation of the funeral sector.
“We are determined to drive rogue operators out of this industry, and protect other families from suffering this same heartache.
“Every person in every situation deserves dignity in death, and every bereaved family deserves certainty that their loved ones are being treated with care and respect.”
