The Supplier will be responsible upon instruction for the collection of the deceased's body from the Queen Alexandra Hospital mortuary or from another identified location within Portsmouth or the surrounding area, and for arranging the funeral, providing a suitable coffin, vehicle and adequate staff on the day of the funeral. All deceased bodies will be buried unless otherwise instructed by the Council.
