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.
