What time to arrive at a funeral?

[scaffoldingtheworld]

I’m going to a funeral on Friday. I’ve been told it’s at 2 pm. What time should I arrive at the crematorium?

Usually I’d aim for half an hour before the start time because I worry about parking, it’s usually somewhere I haven’t been before etc, but I think with covid regs they ask people to turn up 15 mins before so that you don’t mix with the previous service’s attendees.

At least 15 minutes before the start time.

I'd be in the car park about 20 minutes beforehand, and leave some time for traffic etc.

With covid regs I wouldn't advise people to arrive more than about 15mins before. Yes I know they have been lifted in England but imagine people are still fairly careful.
Arrive too early and you will get caught up in the previous service (often about 30mins apart)

15 minutes before is plenty of time. If you arrive any earlier than that you’re probably going to cross over with the previous service attendees.

Thank you.

I'm sorry for your loss
