Wolverhampton City Council introduces a "fat tax" for larger burial plots, sparking debate on fairness and costs.
Wolverhampton City Council in the UK is facing criticism for introducing a 20% premium on larger burial plots at Danescourt cemetery, dubbed a "fat tax."
The new charge, up to £2,700 for a 6ft-wide plot, aims to address rising demand due to higher obesity rates.
Critics argue it unfairly targets larger individuals and adds financial stress to grieving families.
The council defends the move, stating it reflects the extra costs of providing larger graves, and offers alternatives to minimize additional fees.
