Help with the basic funeral costs of people that die from coronavirus.

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

To help pay for funerals of people that die of the virus when they don’t have funeral payment plans and the family is left with the costs.
Help is given for people who can’t work due to the virus, what about helping grieving families that can’t afford the funeral because no funeral plans have been done or they don’t have any state, so the family has to find the money.

This is only if the person died of the virus only.
