Quite. Although I should point out I don't believe that to be Thatcher specific; why should any ex-PM receive a state funeral at the tax payer's cost?

Particularly when the family are perfectly able of paying themselves.

Absolutely.

Neither Ted Heath or Jim Callaghan had a state-funded funeral so why should £10,000,000 of public money be spent on hers?

Surely, all her old cronies that made £millions from the privatisation rip-offs should pass the hat around to pay to send her off they think she is so wonderful?
