Funeral attendance is limited to 30 people or less, this is for funerals both indoors as well as outdoors. Should you hold an event which is not a funeral per say, but is a belief-based or commemorative event, only 15 people may attend, whether it be indoors or outdoors. Lodge Brothers funeral directors Roehampton recommends that funerals by invitation only, thereby controlling the numbers of attendees to within permissible limits and ensuring that close family and friends gain preferential access to the funeral.

In the event that your loved one has passed from covid-related complications, family members who have been in contact with the deceased must remain in isolation for the prescribed amount of time and personal attendance to the funeral is not permitted.

Family members and friends who are not part of the family bubble who wish to travel in order to attend the funeral, should chose to stay in a hotel or guest house where they will not be exposed to other family members who may be isolating or in quarantine.

All mourners must follow covid rules and remain compliant to those rules throughout the event. Funerals can be held in a shorter period, or in rotation, so that respects can still be paid to the deceased yet in a safe environment.

Local Funeral Directors and Memorial Stonemasons, Lodge Brothers have come to the aid of a Shepperton angel who lost her marble hands when thieves vandalised St Mary Magdalene Church in Squires Bridge Road.

‘We like to think we are on the side of the angels’ said Chris Lodge, who manages Lodge Brothers’ memorial stonemasonry division, ‘and like so many local people we were upset to hear of the angel losing her hands and were determined to do something about it. As a local, family owned business, supporting the local community is something we are proud to do and what better than to help a fallen angel’
Accordingly stonemasons from Lodge Brothers have visited the church, measured the angel and are now busy making a new pair of hands. Soon the angel will be restored to her former glory thanks to Lodge Brothers who are donating their services and expertise fee of charge
