What does a "loved one" mean in this case? How does the government define a "loved one"?

Not much to add in detail, but I feel like this is a pretty straightforward bill. With thousands of Atlasians dead, and many more out of work, covering the funeral expenses of the less advantaged victims of the pandemic is a good way to alleviate some of their burden.

I don't see this as very controversial. I'd like to motion for a final vote.
