In France, the duration of leave in the event of the death of a relative is set at three days. Senator LR Stéphane Le Rudulier wants this duration to be extended from three to five days in France.

The bill also wants to grant an additional day off "specifically for the day of the funeral" "We think a lot about the end of life, but there is nothing for those who remain," said Sté PHraser Le Rulier on Europe 1 Midi.
