Build a commemorative wall for those who have died due to COVID-19

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

I would like the government the employ a range of artists or freelance creatives who have been made redundant or furloughed to design and build a large commemorative wall that lists all those who have needlessly died following the Corona virus in the UK.
This has become a part of our history. There have been so many people that have died from this virus and died alone. There has been so many who have died, that only a small percentage of those people have had their deaths acknowledged. Thousands of families have had to conduct funeral services with a limited number of family members and many have not been able to full fill their loved ones final wishes. I feel that these deaths should fully be acknowledged with a large memorial.
