scargill Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 What about if I buried her in a wood, or forest. Is that legal? Why not save yourself the cost and hassle and get her to dig her own hole? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twiglet Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Too tight for a set of kiddies armbands? Sky burials are popular in places where the ground is so hard that you can't dig a hole. <snip> Total cost, 89p including lunch and a snack to take home. Funniest thing I've read ALL day.

Greavsy Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Is the OP being serious here? Because if he/she is then she sounds like one of the most disgusting people ever. Have you got no feelings what so ever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonewaller Posted July 15, 2010 Author Share Posted July 15, 2010 OK. I shall ask the question another way. If you had an eccentric Aunt who had charged you with the responsibility of arranging her funeral and INSTRUCTED you to keep the costs to a minimum, because she "does not wish to give them" any money, ( I am not really sure who they are), what would you do? She wishes me to show her the arrangements for her approval. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She'd had a newspaper cutting stored under a vase for over a year before she died and made sure we all knew where it was for 'when the time came'. It was a basic funeral which was all she wanted as she didn't want us spending money. It was still a lovely service at the local crematorium with a perfectly good coffin and hearse. We did buy a few flowers but made donations to a hospice who had helped her/us an awful lot instead. These are what would be referred to as 'basic' funerals - I'm afraid I think it still cost in the region of £2,500-£3,000. Remember, once she's gone, she cannot have any control over her funeral and the executor of her estate can draw the full cost of the funeral from her estate so it need cost nothing to anyone else. You can keep her happy for now, and then do as you wish once she has gone whether she approves or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonJeremy Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Know anybody who keeps pigs? this refers to the film Snatch It's rumoured that his favourite means of dispatch involves a stun gun... ... a plastic bag, a roll of tape and a pack of hungry pigs. You're a ruthless little aunt (predictive text), Liam. I'll give you that. But I got no time for grouses. Feed him to the pigs, Errol. both your post and the film made me laugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strangeart Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 is the op actually being serious? Who knows, its comical but very true to life, plus, death is such a business would'nt it be nice to minimise costs, after all the dead don't care!
