Funeral directors Most families chose to employ a funeral director to organise the funeral of a loved one, but this can be carried out independently. The funeral director will collect and move the body, arrange embalming and viewing of the deceased, provide a coffin, hearse and other elements. Some people do not wish to use a funeral director. This can be for a variety of reasons. They may feel that passing the body of a loved one over to strangers is wrong. Some feel that personally organising a funeral is their final tribute to the deceased person.

Food Safety inspections Barnet Council's team of Environmental Health Officers and Food Safety Officers has the right to enter and inspect any food premises and any food found on that premises at all reasonable hours. Our aim is to protect the public from any health risk associated with the food they eat. We do not have to make appointments and will visit businesses on a programmed basis or because we have received a complaint. The frequency of our inspections will generally depend on potential food safety risks and how effectively they are controlled.

The Edgware Road was one of the first roads to be constructed by the Romans in. The High Street may have had houses by the middle part of the 15th century, and the road functioned not only as a thoroughfare, but also as a boundary between the parishes of Little Stanmore (on the western side) and Edgware (on the eastern side). 

Until the 1820s the Great North Road came into Barnet through the small Victoria Lane, which runs down the side of the Graseby House building part of Barnet College. The lane is now cut short, but it used to run down to the Red Lion at Underhill. The road was an important military route to the port of Holyhead and Ireland. From 1818 a new straighter road was constructed on the embankment we see today, which was less steep. The new road allowed armies to move more swiftly along it.
