        @BBCNews Put it all on a credit card when organising my Nan's #funeral last year. A basic cremation cost thousands & there's no other choice

        @BBCNews if people actually had some ambition in Britain then they could afford to live and die without leaning on government...

        @BBCNews donating your body to medical school is one way to avoid the debt as there is no funeral

        @BBCNews I was told that the minimum a funeral (cremation) can cost is around £5-£6k, the government gives you something like £500-£700 =(
