On Monday's Backchat, we’re talking about after-death arrangements.
The Ombudsman has called on authorities to cut through the red tape and make it easier to complete after-death arrangements online, instead of burdening next of kin with cumbersome procedures which require reaching out to multiple departments at a time of grief.
The watchdog is also calling on the government to step up promotion of green burials, which are already rising in popularity. And for hospitals to provide more information on "dying in place" arrangements to let terminally ill patients choose where to end their lives
After 9:45, we learn about the first findings from the Centre for Food Safety’s dietary study.
