Remove the charge for children’s death certificates

Closed 141 signatures

What the petition asks

The Government should scrap the charge for death certificates where a child has passed away.
After losing my son, in a tragic accident and having to deal with the emotion and then the cost was obviously the worst thing ever then being told by email his death certificate was ready, I plucked up the courage to click on this link.

Horrified to see I have to pay for something so final is just wrong.
