Set time limits for funerals in England
I am asking for a law to be introduced setting a time limit on how long the deceased may be held without a funeral or being otherwise respectfully cremated or buried.
Currently there is no law on how long a deceased person may be held by a funeral home, before a funeral must be held.
This can mean that funerals are not held for months after a person deceased. This is a particular issue when there are family disputes about holding a funeral.
We believe this is disrespectful to the deceased, who deserve to have their funeral. This can be extremely upsetting to friends and family of the deceased.
You can't sign this petition because it is now closed. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
