The government has launched a review of the coroner system, including how it treats the needs of faith groups.
Justice Minister Caroline Dinenage said the wide-ranging review would "find out whether coroner services are responsive to faith group needs, particularly those who require less invasive post-mortem examinations and timely funerals such as Jewish and Muslim communities".
The consultation will run for eight weeks. Ms Dinenage said the government wanted to hear from users of the service, including bereaved families.
Jewish and Muslim communities welcomed the review when it was announced earlier this year.
