Having regard to the new requirements, it is a matter for each hospital to decide whether it will enter into a service level agreement with undertakers or other external entities for the provision of embalming services. I understand that Our Lady's Hospital, Navan, has recently decided to discontinue its present arrangements for embalming services. However, it will of course continue to provide all appropriate mortuary services for deceased patients in the normal way.
