Basically, they're taking money from grieving and vulnerable people and giving them nothing. Imagine paying £3000 for a coffin for a lost loved one and being told that it's a magic invisible coffin - would that be fine if you had a rider saying "you may not be able to feel the coffin"?

Not really. If it's religious, then all psychics would be SNU members. If it's personal, the SNU should stay out of it. No it’s not. Not really.

Psychics arrest and retard the stages by telling you that your loved one isn't gone and in fact hovers over your shoulder giving advice and guidance.

And what higher goal than that, eh?
