The body of cyclist killed in a tragic road accident has lain in a mortuary for three months because his family are struggling to pay for his funeral.
Sad story but does that really happen if people can’t afford a funeral? Surely there must be loads of people who don’t have £4k kicking about to bury or cremate their loved ones? Do they not do council burials anymore?
I’m not being disrespectful in any way, but if the country is in such a bad way that we can’t pay to bury people any more then that’s appalling.
Edit: Apparently there’s a service available called Public Health Funerals.
