Mourners in NSW grieving the loss of loved ones have been assured they can leave home during lockdown for compassionate reasons to mark a death anniversary or pay their respects at a grave-site.

Mourners in Greater Sydney grieving the loss of loved ones have been assured they can leave home during lockdown for compassionate reasons to mark a death anniversary or pay their respects at a grave-site.

But the Australian Funeral Directors Association's NSW President Nick Maurer said he was aware of 60 attendees allegedly hoping to attend a funeral at Rookwood Cemetery before the number was reduced to ten. Rookwood General Cemetery's latest online advice on Wednesday stated a maximum of 10 people can attend a funeral or memorial service.

Rookwood also said that police will be patrolling the cemetery and may ask about a person's reasons for being there.
