Rejected petition Justice for families denied their dying rights during COVID-19 pandemic
Under the special circumstances every family should have their dying wishes granted without interference or restrictions.
To prevent or restrict a family seeing each other at the end of life is inhuman and unjustifiable;
There is no excuses or apologies that would justify the action!
More details
No one should have to die alone or be denied their rights to see all their loved ones before they pass, regardless of what their cause of death may be.
If you wanted to see your loved one before they passed then that decision should be yours and yours only, regardless of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Lets bring people together who are experiencing or have already experienced the trauma and aim to bring justice for all those beautiful souls ❤️

Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
WPetitions need to call on the UK Government or House of Commons to take a specific action.
We understand that you are concerned about the impact of Covid-19 restrictions on those who have died during the pandemic, and their families, but it is not clear what you want the Government to do about this.
We have already published the following petit
ions, some of which you might like to sign:

Require local authorities to allow family to attend funerals: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/312824
If you want the Government to take an action not covered by the above you could start a new petition, but it would need to be clear what action you want the Government or House of Commons to take.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
