Relatives visit a columbarium in Venezuela city of the Philippines to pay respect to their lost loved ones. A bloc of opposition political parties has endorsed a bill in the Philippine parliament that seeks to offer free and state-subsidised funeral services to poor citizens.
Funeral expenses in the Philippines range between 15,000 to 20,000 pesos at the cheapest with only leased graveyard renewable every five years, according to the Philippine Information Agency. Once the bill is passed into law, mortuaries would receive discounts to be paid by the local government depending on the social class of the family of the deceased.
Local government units would waive all fees and charges including burial and interment permit, cremation permit, and the cost of the death certificate to qualified candidates.
