Closed Posthumous marriages - To show compassion to surviving partners

Closed on

That the Government grants surviving partners to marry their deceased partners posthumous - In example as in France

This to show that the British people can show compassion to survivors, who had no chance to marry their beloved ones due to death in hospitals from Cov19 and underlying illnesses.

The Catholic Church the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith showed compassion and granted the Wedding Blessing at my partners death bed.

So should not the Government show the same compassion to maybe ease the "mental grief" of the surviving partner.
