TTT,
// she is 100% right to ignore their digusting religious BS - they ain't our customs// Not racist?
-- answer removed --
no danny it's religionist.
By the same reasoning I would not like to be told to bury my loved one sooner than I'd wished because the queuing system said so.

'Appropriate good will on all sides', guess that was a bit optimistic a statement.
Dannyk-In my last sentence all I said was that it made me wonder if it was already happening in our local communities.
you see danny, religion transcends many races so it can't be racist. However I freely own up to hating all religion and as such I am religionst and proud of it, as anyone whose IQ exceeds their shoe size should be.
Lord Justice Singh, the last name says it all...

Interesting, as no one has disagreed I take it you'd be content to be told when your arranged burial took place regardless of whether that was when you wanted it.
// Andres, if people were having funeral dates altered to accommodate .....//

undertakers wont even discuss the funeral date until they have got the body out of the clutches of the coroner and the central morgue
“With appropriate goodwill on all sides, we are hopeful that a satisfactory solution can be found in this sensitive area.”

Why should there be goodwill on all sides? There is a perfectly good system for dealing with the deceased – they are buried/cremated in the order in which they die. If there is a three week wait (as there is in many parts of London at some points in the year) then everybody waits three weeks. Things have moved on since bodies began to decay after a few hours in the festering *** holes where these religions were founded. Here in the UK we have discovered ways of preserving the dead until their turn for disposal comes. Furthermore, how much “goodwill” is likely to be demonstrated by those whose ridiculous religious foibles demand such preferential treatment?

More than that, this ruling demonstrates the contorted logic that has now infested the legal profession where common sense seems to have been sacrificed on the altar of “diversity”:

“But Lord Justice Singh said the policy was discriminatory and must be quashed.”

My Lord Singh seems to have lost the plot. Ms Hassel’s policy which he condemns did not discriminate in any way. Everybody was treated equally. His proposal could not be more discriminatory if he tried: it discriminates against all those who are not followers of the two religions.

“The judge added: ‘The fundamental difficulty with the defendant's policy is that it does not strike a fair balance between the rights concerned at all.’”

There is a perfectly fair balance in existence with the cab-rank system of disposal. Nobody waits longer than anyone else. The so-called “Equalities Act” has established all sorts of inequalities where religious requirements have become trump cards to establish fresh “rights” which override the rights of non-believers.

Following the ruling, London Mayor Sadiq Khan tweeted: 'I welcome this decision by the High Court. It is right and proper the Coroner respects the religious sensitivities of Londoners.’

Well he would wouldn’t he since the principle beneficiaries of this twisted ruling are members of his own religion. It seems the sensitivities of Infidel Londoners can go and take a run because for every Jew or Muslim who is promoted up the queue of cadavers patiently waiting their turn for disposal, the family of a deceased Heretic will have to wait a little longer to lay their loved one to rest.
Lynne, isn't a funeral arranged between the bereaved and the funeral director.That is what happened on the occasions I have arranged funerals.
I'll take my turn in the queue mamy, I won't push in and I won't let others, end of.
I should think that in a supposedly civilised country all customs can be respected. Maybe not.
bang on as usual judge, good job this isn't the winter if discontent, they'd be in the back of a freezer van for a month anyway!
"I should think that in a supposedly civilised country all customs can be respected. Maybe not. " - yes if they do not interfere with indigenous practice.
Yes Danny, in most cases it is.

//Why should there be goodwill on all sides?//

Time for an exit from me.

Nice chatting.
Danny - I've only arranged buriels and it's always been threw the funeral directors. Not sure how it works with cremations.
TTT what is the indigenous practise?
Just the same ummmm, mine were cremations.
