Remove the restrictions on singing at funerals

Closed 159 signatures

What the petition asks

The Government should remove the COVID restrictions on funerals that you cannot sing hymns in respect of the dead while wearing a mask and socially distanced.
The government has allowed students to go to lectures and speak between one another socially distanced and you can talk to members of staff at a restaurant or store with a mask on but you are not allowed to sing hymns at a funeral while wearing a mask and distanced. There are already the rules that you must wear a mask and distance and a limit on the amount of people at a funeral. It is appalling the disrespect the government is having to the people of its country who have passed by doing this.
