EIFELL, a psychometric measure was constructed around five themes of the experiences of funerals; i) the funeral followed the wishes of the person who died, ii) decision making had to be inclusive, iii) responsive funeral directors were well-regarded, iv) being with the body, v) having a funeral service that met their expectations. Additionally, we asked about demographics of the respondent and the characteristics of the funeral they were reporting in this study. The data for 195 respondents is in an csv file and has been transformed (see key) with identifiable information redacted for anonymisation. The data is complemented by a key as well as the survey in PDF and Javascript Object Notation formats.The aim of this study is to fest the feasibility of a psychometric measure of the experiences of funerals. Previous qualitative research found five themes of the experiences of funeral, which were used to construct the EIFELL psychometric measure; i) the funeral followed the wishes of the person who died, ii) decision making had to be inclusive, iii) responsive funeral directors were well-regarded, iv) being with the body, v) having a funeral service that met their expectations. A secondary aim, that will be possible if enough participants respond, is to test the reliability and validity of the measure.

The study used a non-experimental psychometric design to administer the questionnaire and assess its feasibility and psychometric properties. Information about the study and a link to commence it, was via a blog on funeral director's website. Social media and press releases directing potential participants to the blog. The study was administered via JISC online surveys and consisted of four parts; i) information about the study and consent, 2) background information about the characteristics of the funeral being reported 2) the EIFELL psychometric measure, 3) demographics and other information about the respondent and 4) a closing section with open text responses any additional information they want to add about the funeral or any comments about the questionnaire.
