Rejected petition No state funeral for Margaret Thatcher

More details

No state funding for any funeral or memorial service for Margaret Thatcher. The government should take the position that any such event should be funded by her family, supporters, and/or the private sector, and not the taxpayer. (In other words, she should be interred in a manner that is in line with her politics, and sensitive to recent austerity concerns.)
