A report from New Zealand poses the question about who pays the Ferryman:

Plans to increase the cost of burial plots in Marlborough, with a possible 900 per cent hike at one cemetery, has some posing the question; should we share the cost?

The Sunday Mirror in the UK  says it is taking a stand against the cost of burying a child. It says that the cost to bereaved families has been described  as a ‘postcode lottery’ by experts;  some councils charge thousands of pounds to bury a child.  The MIrror alleges a web of bureaucracy and greed tying up parents at their most vulnerable. The Mirror  has teamed the Labour Party to end what it calls a "cruel system". It has also won the support of the Archbishop of Canterbury.
