(asked on 29th November 2016) - View Source
Question to the Wales Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, what estimate he has made of the average cost of funerals in Wales in each year since 2010.
This question was answered on 2nd December 2016
The Wales Office has made no assessment of the cost of funerals.
The Department for Work and Pensions however makes Funeral Expenses Payments to people on qualifying income-based benefits and tax credits who are arranging a funeral. Funeral Expenses Payments make a significant contribution towards the costs of a simple, respectful funeral.
