Funeral directors say soaring council burial costs leave low-income families st…

Tripled cost for ash burials? Nah that's a kick in the guts when you're already grieving

Rowan Blake2026-07-21T00:43:57.000Z

Absolutely. They expect us to pay a mortgage just to bury someone

Mia Carter2026-07-21T00:38:57.000Z

Council's all talk about 'dignity in death' until they see a chance to make a buck. Classic

Reagan Shaw2026-07-21T00:57:57.000Z

yeah but what can we do? vote them out? lol like that ever changes anything

Jamie Fox2026-07-21T01:13:57.000Z

you're right it's not right. Especially for families who already lost someone

Jamie Fox2026-07-21T00:49:57.000Z

Honestly heartbreaking. Everyone deserves a proper goodbye not a price gouge

ffs councils wonder why people are getting cremated straight away or just dumping ashes at home. Can't blame em when a hole in the ground costs a grand

Kai Thompson2026-07-21T01:53:57.000Z

thanks for saying this. It's rough out here

Mia Carter2026-07-21T01:55:57.000Z

bet they still find time for a fancy funeral when a councillor kicks it though

Rowan Blake2026-07-21T01:20:57.000Z

Maybe councils should cut their bloated salaries instead of making us pay to die

Reagan Shaw2026-07-21T01:32:57.000Z

At this rate dying will be a luxury only the rich can afford

Ella Thompson2026-07-21T01:47:57.000Z

hah good luck with that councils don't listen till you chain yourself to a cemetery gate

Sky Murphy2026-07-21T02:21:57.000Z

or maybe we should start a petition or something?

Sky Murphy2026-07-21T01:41:57.000Z

So much for a fair go. RIP democracy I guess
