In deciding whether to—

        (a)     make an order under section 21 (1); or

        (b)     issue a warrant under section 26 or section 27;

a coroner must have regard to the desirability of minimising the causing of distress or offence to people who, because of their cultural attitudes or spiritual beliefs, could reasonably be expected to be distressed or offended by the decision.
