The rising costs of funerals is always a hot topic but they could go up even further if proposed changes come in at Causeway Coast and Glens Supercouncil. The DUP's Sam Cole says plans are being discussed to ban council workers from lifting and lowering coffins at the graveside after an employee took a case against the council when he hurt himself. He says it's health and safety gone mad...he's on the line. And Dominic Maguire is from the National Association of Funeral Directors.
