Further Covid-19 restrictions have been rolled out in parts of the UK as part of a new tiered system of lockdown aimed at containing the virus.
Under the measures, Brits in different parts of the country have had their freedoms curtailed to varying degrees.
But despite the differing restrictions, funerals are still permitted to go ahead with up to 30 mourners in all parts of England, regardless of the local Covid-19 alert level.
Here's what you need to know:
How many people can attend funerals?
Under the new system, up to 30 people are permitted to attend funerals in any part of England, regardless of the local Covid-19 alert level.
Government guidance says ceremonies must however only take place in "Covid-secure venues" or in "public outdoor spaces".
What about wakes?
Wakes or linked ceremonial events before or after a funeral must meanwhile be limited to just 15 people and not take place in private homes.
The guidance states that food or drink may only be served at such events in the form of a sit-down meal.
It also clarifies that anyone working at a wake or funeral is "not generally counted as part of the limit" on attendees.
"Within these larger gatherings, people do not need to limit their interaction to groups of 6 or their own household, but social distancing should still be followed between people who do not live together or share a support bubble," the guidance says.
Does the number of people permitted to attend funerals differ across tiers?
No. Up to 30 people are permitted to attend funerals in any part of England, regardless of the local Covid-19 alert level.
