With the cost of funerals on the increase, more and more people in the UK are struggling to pay for even the most basic funeral for their loved ones (the average cost is now £2,500). In many cases this can cause distress and heartache for the families left behind.

The BBC are looking for people in the local area (SW of England) who are willing to talk about their experiences, the difficulties they've encountered, and what additional help they feel should be available from the Government and/or funeral directors. This is your chance to have your say. Email us.
