Hey, don't give HBC any ideas Steeljack, will soon have our Margaret P. accusing them another stealth tax.

Think they are doing this already as per the article... extra £500 for transportation to crematorium with more suitable facilities. Mind you, in fairness, most councils are attempting to upgrade, but will all go on the council tax in the end I suppose.

Personally, I think this charge should not be levied onto the bereaved ones.
Have to take the rough with the smooth so to speak.
