We should have a State Funeral for Professor Stephen Hawking
Professor Stephen Hawking was a cosmic juggernaut. His contribution to science and our understanding of the universe was immense and unsurpassed. If anyone deserves the full respect of a State Funeral, he does.
Please show your support.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The Government and the House of Commons do not have the power to decide that someone should receive a state funeral. You can find out more about this here:

You could start a new petition asking the House of Commons to ask the Queen for a state funeral to be given, and for the House of Commons to provide the money for a state funeral.
