Photo: Getty ImagesThe Funeral Directors Association is investigating claims made by industry insiders about "dodgy" managers and "morally and ethically" bad behaviour including mismanaging funeral payments, bullying and fiddling with records to hide transactions. And they are calling on people with information to come forward to help them get to the bottom of the claims - promising total confidentiality for whistleblowers.

The Funeral Directors Association of New Zealand has made a similar call for contact.
