Maltese Government To Cover Woman’s Burial After No One Comes Forward
Since no family members or friends have come forward to arrange Maria Ann Johnson’s funeral, the State will be covering her burial expenses.
In the Government Gazette’s 8th August publication, Gozo General Hospital confirmed the details and clarified that the deadline for private arrangements had passed.
Under Maltese law, if a funeral is not organised within two months of a person’s death, the State assumes responsibility.In this instance, the Health Department will arrange the funeral, which should happen ten days after the formal notification.
