Unjustified and immoral - a back door stealth tax for those grieving and bereaved. Even in death taxes can’t be avoided. A travesty of justice - almost a 75% - making it beyond the reach of many people to bury their departed.

Simply outrageous. Classical example of selective targeting of community. No real consultation, or engagement with constituent

People find it hard to pay bills and put food on the table. An extra problem to deal with when losing family and freinds. Funeral poverty. Please save money elsewhere. No need to increase burial costs.

People are genuinely worried as to how they will pay for their funerals due to such a planned increase.

We all understand that we’re still in the grip of the recession! Cuts are necessary in all departments and increasing fees for other services, but such a big hike in burial charges is a definite No. The council needs to look at other sources where they can increase their charges, the wages aren’t rising at all and they trying to push the burial charges without consulting the people who voted them in, the council needs to look into this situation very carefully.

In time of austerity where the working class are increasingly being made to pay for everything, I find it worrying that we now cannot even afford to die.

Very upset to see a big increase in burial fees if the plan goes ahead.
