MP urges government to regulate funeral industry

MP Mark Sewards is urging the government to regulate the funeral industry. He believes that the lack of oversight has led to unfair practices and high prices, making it difficult for families to afford proper burials for their loved ones. Sewards argues that the industry should be subject to stricter rules and guidelines to ensure transparency, fairness, and affordability for consumers. He cites concerns about the potential for price gouging and the lack of standardized pricing information, which can leave families vulnerable during a time of grief. Sewards is calling for the government to take action to protect consumers and ensure that the funeral industry operates in a responsible and ethical manner. He believes that regulation is necessary to ensure that the industry serves the needs of the public, rather than prioritizing profits over the wellbeing of grieving families.
