Related FAQs

We understand that planning a funeral can be difficult, especially as you’re already dealing with the loss of a loved one. There are several questions that may arise during the process, not least how many people can attend a funeral.

People Attending Funeral

This question has become particularly prevalent during the COVID-19 pandemic, where social distancing and maximum group sizes have come into play. In this post, we’ll discuss how many people are allowed at a funeral and how government restrictions may affect it.

How many people can go to a funeral?

First and foremost, we’ll provide a general answer to the question above. In other words, how many people can attend a funeral, pandemic aside. This depends entirely on the venue in question.

Crematoriums, places of worship or other venues will all have their own limits or recommendations for how many people can be seated. Some will allow extra attendees to stand, but it’s worth checking this – and the limits – with your funeral director. Take a look at some of the questions your funeral director will ask.

How many allowed at a funeral during COVID

Since March 2020 in the UK, things have been a little different. Unfortunately, we now have to adhere to ever-changing social distancing guidelines and limits in all walks of life – and funerals are no exception.

At various points over the past two years, we’ve seen the limit set at 30 people. This is the maximum number for tiers 2, 3 and 4 in England and Wales, although it does depend on the venue and whether they can accommodate 30 attendees with social distancing measures in place.

Additionally, the rule of six is used for wakes and other related events (like scattering ashes) in tier 4. You can find the latest guidance on how many can attend a funeral on the Government website.

Choosing Clothes for a Funeral

What to wear to a funeral

First things first, the dress code of a funeral depends on the preferences of those arranging it. People closest to the person who has passed away may request that people wear their favourite colour or just something colourful to make the event less sombre.

If this is the case, you should follow the guidelines below using a colour other than black. However, if no dress code is mentioned, then black is the traditional colour of choice – although other dark, neutral tones like grey and navy are acceptable.
