I am due to go to a funeral on Wednesday.
There seems to be confusion about how many can attend. We are currently allowed 15 attendees, but some parts of the internet are saying 30 will be allowed in Tier 2.

Can anyone confirm either number ?

I think it depends on your local council Sunk,I was at a funeral recently where there was only 15 allowed , that seems to be the ballpark figure

Yes, that is what I thought. The Manchester Evening News tonight says
// Oldham West and Royton MP Jim McMahon tweeted “Call with the Secretary of State confirms GM will be placed in Tier 2”

These include raising the limit on the number of people who can attend funerals to the regional capacity of 30 //
I have got a screenshot of the tiers but can't link to the website cos I lost it....I used to us tinypic what can I use now?
I hope so for people that are obviously distressed anyway
see if this works https://ibb.co/z257cY6

No need to post a link, just say the no. Attendees in Tier 2.
The Funeral Director will be kept informed of current numbers allowed in specific areas.
Sunk I thought folk might find the whole thing useful and what I or anybody says means nothing without validating the statement
Can anyone tell me the number of attendees at a funeral in Stoke on Trent, Thanks.
Currently 30, but that would depend if today has changed that yet.

The usual bl ∞dy confusion from the Government.

// In tier 2, weddings may be permitted to have 15 attendees but receptions may be banned, while funerals could have their attendance capped at 15 attendees. //

// Here is a breakdown of the Tier 2 rules People will have to follow from Wednesday. Funerals (including ceremonies at crematoria) are limited to 30 people //
Thanks Mamy.
If it was me, I'd let the dust settle tonight and check with the Funeral Parlour tomorrow.

Nailit,
Stoke is Tier 1 and 30 attendees can go.
This is a link to the Tiers and the restrictions for each level.

That is what I intend to do.
The tiers are supposed to simplify the rules, but again they have just added to the confusion. How am I supposed to do the right thing when different advice varies between 15 and 30 ?

Thanks TCL,
On that link, they are keeping the figure for each tier secret. Very helpful (not).
If you go to Tier 3, there's a link to funerals and it looks like that applies to the other two tiers
