stewpot54 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 A friend of mine says he does not want a funeral when he dies. He wants his body taking straight to the crematoriam and if people want a rememberance sevice without the cost of a hearse that is up to them. Is this allowed as I believe Princess Margaret did it this way on her death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dozy Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 No, you don't have to have a funeral. My dad was cremated with no service whatsoever, the undertakers just took him to the crematorium. Same with my ma-in-law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambler Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 (edited) are you kidding, I want a magical funeral, its at night, candles, string quartet, big statue of me with very attractive females crying their eyes out below it, hell yeah but, you don't need to have a funeral. I remember the last funeral my family went through, it cost 4k+ and it was nothing special, I remember thinking I'm so in the wrong business.

Agent Orange Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Getting cremated is so yesterday. Why don't your friend look into something a bit more adventurous or helpful to the planet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Rock Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I remember the last funeral my family went through, it cost 4k+ Was that for a burial or cremation? The price of a funeral isn't something that most people discuss! There are humanist funerals where people are buried in an allocated field - although I don't know the cost or implications associated with this.
