Make all funeral-related costs VAT zero-rated or exempt.

Petition Details

Currently some funeral costs are exempt from VAT when provided as part of a funeral package. I would like the UK government to abolish the standard rate of VAT applicable to all funeral costs, including as headstones, flowers, and other commemorative items, and the hire of funeral services.

Additional Information

I think it is unfair for families who are already dealing with the major grief and stress of organising a loved one’s funeral to have to pay VAT costs at a time when, even with life insurance payments due, they may be suffering from cash flow issues.
