Travel from tier 3 to tier 1 for funeral

[Dohod]

My father has died, we live in Surrey (tier 1) and my brother and his family are in Manchester. I have just heard on the news that Manchester are now in tier 3 but can’t seem to find any guidance on whether they’ll be able to travel down for the funeral which would be next week?

I feel like this would be allowed but can't find specific guidance. Ask funeral directors maybe?

From www.gov.uk/guidance/local-covid-alert-level-very-high#weddings-civil-partnerships-religious-services-and-funerals

Weddings, civil partnerships, religious services and funerals
You can attend places of worship for a service if you’re in a very high alert level area. However, you must not mingle with anyone outside of your household or support bubble. You should follow the national guidance on the safe use of places of worship.

Funerals must only take place in COVID-secure venues or in public outdoor spaces with up to 30 people in attendance. Wakes or linked ceremonial events before or after the funeral are limited to 15 people and must not take place in private homes. Where food or drink is consumed, this should be in the form of a sit-down meal to ensure people can keep their distance from each other.

Anyone working at a wedding, civil partnership ceremony, wake or funeral is not generally counted as part of the limit. Within these larger gatherings, people do not need to limit their interaction to groups of 6 or their own household, but social distancing should still be followed between people who do not live together or share a support bubble.

People living outside of a very high alert level area can travel to this area to attend an event, but they must not meet with another household in a private home or garden and we are asking them not to stay overnight.

As far as I know people in tier 3 are advised not to travel out of the area but it's not illegal just advice.
For a funeral I'd travel anyway!

Generally speaking, the advice is not to travel, but a funeral is an important occasion. It's not a jolly for the sake of it.

Pay your respects as you and your family need to. Humanity must not be forgotten in all this

The advice posted above is for a funeral taking place in a high risk area (tier 2:3), this is the opposite. I looked at the advice on funerals in medium risk areas (tier 1) and it didn't have anything about people travelling to it from higher tiers.....

My sympathies OP I think the rules are the same for all tiers but visiting rights might be different. My father died yesterday, so trying to get to grips with the rules.

Deepest condolences, and sincerest sympathy for both Dohod and Ereshkigalangcleg. A terrible time for you both. I hope you and your families are able to grieve as you need to. I'm pretty sure travel for funerals is permitted. It'd be inhuman for it not to be. Take care

I'm in Greater Manchester. I think the guidance is don't travel out of the area but it isn't, as far as I know, going to be legislation. Obviously check that. Personally, I would go. Although I might do what self isolation I could at home before I did.
My sincere condolences

Thank you Wandering.

The travel thing is only advise and not law.

I would class this as essential travel.

To be honest, nothing would prevent me going.

Sorry for your loss. Of course you should go to the funeral. I'm in GM and we are not advised to leave but can. And any reasonable person would agree that you're being entirely reasonable.
