Very good friend of mine is Chairman of a chain of Funeral Directors in south London. He is now in his 80's and retired but he still keeps an eye on the business.
By early May during the first wave last year he told me that they had carried out more funerals than all of 2019.
They were doing up to 12 funerals in one day at three different crematoria in the south east.
Several refrigerated containers were being bought in and fitted out to increase capacity at his depot.
