Petition Burial Fee Rip Off

More details

Local councils are cashing in on bereaved families to make profits. Most charge £600-£800 to dig a grave - why? An excavator can be hired for 2 days at a cost of £90!

We want the government to investigate this scandalous pricing by local councils, which we have no choice but to pay if we want to bury our loved ones.
