We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Government to fund repatriation for those who die on holiday
Government to fund repatriation costs where travel insurance companies do not automatically include cover for death in case it should happen whilst on holiday, so families dealing with the aftermath have one less stress to worry about.
More details
A dearly beloved friend, whom I considered family, had booked a holiday abroad, she also took out insurance, just in case anything should happen.
Sadly, not long after arriving, she passed away.
It transpired that the insurance didn't cover the event of death.
Thus leaving all of her family and friends distraught & having to face the ineffable fact that due to costs, she will have to be buried over there, 1000's of miles from home.
