It is thought the funeral will cost in the region of £8 million. That means it will cost 12,276,000 million dollars. Baroness Thatcher would be outraged. She was for saving money. If that number is correct than they are going against Margaret Thatcher’s wishes for her funeral.
When did you last personally discuss details of the cost of her funeral with the Baroness?
THE COST
The final bill for the funeral may approach £10million. Lady Thatcher’s family is meeting an unspecified amount of the expense, thought to cover transport, flowers and the cremation, with the Government funding the rest, including security.
Foreign Secretary William Hague said: ‘When it comes to money, the rebate she negotiated for this country from the EU has brought us so far £75billion…I think that puts money in perspective.’
