Plain Talker Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 I'm a real Scrooge and so have decided to donate my body to medical science and so there will be no funeral costs at all, fairly easy to do. I was told they weren't accepting bodies for medical science any more, or I'd have offered mine when I've done with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plain Talker Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 If you don't use a funeral director, where do you keep the body while arrangements are made. The hospitals have mortuaries/ chapels of rest where the departed's remains can be looked after until the funeral. When I was younger, it was more common-than-not, that the dear-departed were laid out in a bed or coffin in their (or their next-of-kin's) parlour/ front room, and their loved-ones could pay their respects, and say their goodbyes. My very elderly former next-door neighbour passed away in late 1989, only 22 years ago, and he was in an open coffin, in his best bib-and-tucker, in the living room, when I went to the funeral. I was able to say a goodbye to him, and give my condolences to his wife and children, which was (IMO) a nice way to say "Ta-ra, old-feller!".

So long as your old-lass doesn't order the whole bag o' mashings to build a patio, saxon, I shouldn't let it fret me!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
