funeral fund

The government pays $10,000 towards the cost of a funeral for a murder victim.

This is good. Everyone needs to be buried, or burnt. If only to reduce the amount of bush dumping.

It would be even better if the government provided a no-questions-asked "pauper's" funeral. Once a body is cleared for disposal, the government will arrange the disposal. This takes the pressure off family. Family or friends can pay for extras. If they want to, if they can afford it.

And then -- most importantly -- for a murder -- the government will recover costs from the murderer.

The same process for manslaughter:

The government pays essential costs. The family grieves -- then carries on with life. Leaving the government to recover costs from the manslaughterer.

One less worry for the family of a victim.

And the funeral cost is carried by the person who caused the death.
