Funeral Poverty

Proceeding contribution from Siobhain McDonagh (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 11 September 2018. It occurred during Debate on Funeral Poverty.

I congratulate my hon. Friend on her tenacity and determination in taking on this terrible scourge. Is she aware of the exploitation that people face when trying to bury a loved one, with local authorities doubling, tripling or quadrupling burial fees for someone who did not live in the borough at the time of death, even if they own the grave and lived in the borough almost their entire life?
