Seems to me it's all about making political capital out of the sorrow of others. If it was one of my kith & kin requiring funereal services I would want the best I could afford for them regardless of the councils "take", I'd not put things on hold & go looking round at other councils to "compare the market".

By using such an emotional event in any way to score politically is just simply obscene & pretty low even by the standards of some politicians, furthermore it adds even more turmoil to an already grieving & upset family.

Just a point of note, the quote below is taken from an article (Accrington Observer 02 Sept 2011) which Rindy posted :-

"Funeral charges, which have gone up by more than £100 in just nine months, have been branded a ‘death tax’.

And the HBC Council changed leadership when ?
