funerals

what type of funeral would you have?horse drawn carriage or wheelbarrow

[Buenchico]

My will states "I desire that my body be cremated without ceremony and that my ashes be disposed of, also without ceremony, in any convenient refuse receptacle".

However someone would still have to get my body to the crematorium so, given the options you offer, here's my chosen method:

As I won't be here I'll leave it to those who wish to remember me to decide.

Personally I'd like to slip away quietly without any fuss.

I sure wouldn't want a flash do.a good wake,even if me not about to join in

tipped in the sea, off the local golf course.

a plaque to be put in

"If you find this plaque,
Hit one in the sea
In memory of all the golf balls
he sliced, good old DTC"

[DTCwordfan]

[woofgang]

don't know, don't care, won't be there.

Mine stipulates my cremation with the minimum of fuss. There are only two stipulations:

nothing religious whatsoever;

"Wondering" by Van der Graaf Generator to accompany me into the flames.

[DTCwordfan]

to keep him going through Christmas and the New Year, headwreck, what you are hoping for....

[boxtops]

That's sad, headwreck - thinking of you ♥

[DTCwordfan]

it may sound daft but have they tried cannabis and hemp oil - there have been some remarkable recoveries apparently, even from late stage cancers...worth researching perhaps....

It is quite legal to arrange for the body to be delivered direct to the back door of the crematorium for disposal with out any ceremony at all. No coffin is needed either, a body bag is perfectly acceptable .
Any type of vehicle can be used to transport the body an estate car or van for example. In this case the only fee payable is the actual cremation charge , around £300 , you can get body bags for £11 each . So a totally legal disposal of a body can be arranged for £311 plus the cost of transport . No undertakers need be involved , anyone can collect the body from the mortuary once the death certificate and the permission for cremation has been obtained. I have found a site on ebay that sells body bags for £5 each if you buy in bulk, I am intending buying enough to sell the surplus ones to pay the cost of disposal for my remains, I could even be in profit.
If the person who organizes my 'funeral' is on benefits they can claim £1200 funeral grant , after paying for the cremation, body bag and a van there will be £900 for a good p*ss up in my local as a 'wake' .
This is all if my first plan does not work, which is to leave my body to be used for medical students to practice on or for research, if they accept my body there is no cost at all and any bits they don't want are disposed of free as clinical waste.
