With the exception of funeral finance packages, offers of services made in anticipation of a funeral or during a period of two months from the date of death with a view to obtaining or having obtained, either directly or as an intermediary, the order for supplies or services related to a death are prohibited. Home visits are prohibited, as are all visits made for the same purpose on the public highway or in a place or building that is public or open to the public.
As an exception to the first paragraph, and solely in the case of a death at home, home visits by the staff of authorised agencies, companies or associations are authorised on Sundays, public holidays and during the hours of darkness, when they are requested by the person entitled to provide for the funeral. This derogation only concerns the ordering of transport services or the deposit of a body before committal and home conservation care.
