My dear grandpa died last week, his funeral is next week.
Most of his children and grandchildren live in other parts of tge UK and in other parts of the world so most of us will be arriving tge day before tge funeral.
For family members to carry tge coffin they must go to the undertakers and have health and safety training. None of my grandpa's family can get there with time to spare to get health and safety trained.
It makes me so sad that stupid health and safety regulations are stopping a ancient tradition, it seems so natural to carry a dead loved one on their final journey.
Aibu to think that this is really stupid. My grandpa was not a big man, he's already dead so if he gets dropped ( unlikely) it's not going to do any extra harm and everyone who would carry him have lifted heavier sofas/cabinets/pianos whilst moving house.

AIBU?
to think that health and safety training to carry a coffin is ridiculous?
