Funeral directors in Suffolk have told of the pressure and emotional strain caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, saying: We have never known anything like this.
As well as having to organise high numbers of funerals, staff are having to explain government restrictions on numbers to grieving families, often via videolink rather than in person.
David Button, owner of David Button Independent Funeral Directors in Walton, Felixstowe, put a heartfelt post on his Facebook page, following an extremely busy week which was very demanding for his staff.
