Government to fund full burial cost to those who dies from Covid 19
Government to fund and come up with a burial package for everyone who dies of Covid 19. Full cost should be covered to any families regardless if they are working or on benefits. It's against many religions to do a cremation, for those people burial is a must.
The average cost of burial, before optional items like flowers and catering, is around £3,989, although this can vary a lot depending on the type of funeral chosen. People are struggling to buy food and many families who's on universal credit aren't able to buy a weeks shopping let alone paying out for a burial cost. It's predicted roughly 20,000 people will die because of this disease Covid 19, this will leave people out of pocket and in more debt if they have to pay for burial costs.
