Hi

I lost my dear mother a few days ago, at the moment the prison will not allow him to come even though he only has 5 weeks to go. Does anybody know if it is at all possible.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I have no advice regarding his attendance but I wanted to send my condolences.

Take care x

I am so sorry for your loss.

I have just come across this online - parliamentary document that talks about prisoners attending funerals in person or remotely during COVID. Don't know if this may help you.

Have you tried contacting your local MP to find out what rights your son has to attend the funeral? They maybe able to give you some advice/support?

Thinking of you at this sad and difficult time.
