The strike action by funeral undertakers has come to an end but they maintain it was necessary for them to shock government into action.

Late on Thursday evening, the news broke that the strike action had come to an end, after thousands of undertakers across the country took part in protests, carrying empty coffins through city streets and to hospitals and Home Affairs offices.
