Daughter awarded 1,000 compensation after her mother's ashes spilled in the post
"Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."

"A woman's ashes were mistakenly sent via an EU country and arrived with some of the contents spilling out, with her daughter awarded 1,000 in compensation as a result. In September 2023, the woman, referred to as Mrs R, had taken out a funeral plan with the provider Plan With Grace, paying 1,449 for a direct cremation which was redeemed when her mother Mrs M died in April 2024."
The Independent covers topics including reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech and produces documentaries such as 'The A Word' while emphasizing on-the-ground reporting. The outlet relies on donations and chooses not to use paywalls, arguing that quality journalism should be available to everyone and funded by those who can afford it. In a separate consumer case, a woman prepaid a funeral plan with Plan With Grace for 1,449 for a direct cremation in April 2024. The ashes should have been returned by 7 June but were not sent until 14 June and were routed via an unnamed EU country. The ashes arrived not fully sealed, some contents spilled, the daughter paid a customs fee, and she was later awarded 1,000 in compensation.
