**** whether it's open to abuse or not!! Pay out some money to everyone working. It ain't rocket science. I don't trust any civil servants in Whitehall and the revenue even less.
With regard to my mates mum who died a few days ago. Turns out that as of Monday there is now NO-ONE allowed to attend the service and cremation, not even close family. Therefore someone who has had 90 years on this earth, now has no one there to wish her goodbye. I’m assuming this is possibly now applying to all funerals, but might be wrong. So very sad
I’m trying to bite my tongue as much as possible when I see certain posts out of respect for the mods and that people are going through a lot right now. edit- it’s not going terribly well.
My lovely old Aunt died a couple of weeks ago. Not related to the virus, she'd had dementia for a while. The last of my mum's sisters, she will have virtually no one to see her off next week. My cousin is planning a family get together when this **** storm has passed. Very sad.
This must now be the standard rule for all deaths at present, my mate who passed away this week is subject to this and as Col says we will just have to wait to arrange a 'farewell' to him. So difficult for close family to find any closure and tough for others like yourself who just want to show their respects...
