Mortuary Solutions

Handling an emergency situation such as a major fire or terrorist attack in which there may be casualties or even fatalities, is one of the most demanding situations central and local governments can be faced with. 

Local Emergency Mortuary Arrangement 
Under present regulations it is the responsibility and obligation of a local authority to deal with disasters in its area. The Local Emergency Mortuary Arrangement means the local government must be prepared to receive casualties within 24 hours at a nearby location.

This can be a very difficult task, particularly at a time when there would be so many other demands on local authority officials such as public order, caring for bereaved relatives, security, and forensic science issues.
