What the petition asks
Free basic funerals for all alleviating the costs for all regardless of income.
With inequality at its widest the costs of funerals are spiralling, people who have suffered a loss should not have the extra pressure of the costs, the stress caused and the panic of finding the funds to deliver a basic funeral. This should be free and paid for by central government.
