What the petition asks

Introduce a care package to cover all basic funerals/cremations for all UK Covid-19 Victims
I would like to see the UK Government to put together a care package to cover all costs of a basic funeral or cremation for all victims of Covid-19, as the cost of funerals will be a burden to families, who will be struggling during this outbreak.
