Funeral Poverty in Dundee

The motion

That the Parliament acknowledges the report, Funeral Poverty in Dundee: Funeral Link Evaluation, by academics at the School of Business of the University of Dundee; understands that it identified that more than £500,000 of funeral debt is faced by families in the city each year and calls for greater support for people facing funeral debt; recognises that the report, which has been released during Challenge Poverty Week, also highlights the excellent work of the Dundee-based charity, Funeral Link, in providing support to bereaved people as they arrange funerals and the potential debts that they might incur; thanks the researchers and the charity for their continued work on highlighting this issue, and wishes them every success in their efforts to alleviate funeral poverty.
