Funeral Poverty

Proceeding contribution from Gregory Campbell (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 11 September 2018. It occurred during Debate on Funeral Poverty.

To go back to what my hon. Friend said about Northern Ireland compared with the rest of the UK, with the much shorter time between the demise of the deceased and the burial, is that not all the more reason for clarity at a very early stage, particularly given that in most cases some members of the extended family will be in other parts of the country, or possibly overseas? It is a very short period in which we need clarity and certainty about the extent to which family members, if there are any, will have to contribute to the funeral costs.
