The Fair Funerals campaign, which is run by Quaker Social Action, held a funeral procession in Parliament Square on 17 October to deliver a letter to chancellor Philip Hammond, calling on the government to increase the fund to cover basic funeral costs annually in line with inflation and stop families on a low income getting into debt when burying their loved ones.
