Today's missive was from Pure Cremation who, for about £1,700 , will collect your cold, dead body and then burn it and either scatter your ashes somewhere in England or put them in an urn and send them back to your loved ones. No ceremony needed or wanted. Sounds like the perfect option for you. That could be a winner... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mate died of cancer in his 30s. He got the horse and hearse send off as that was what he wanted. Only one like that I have attended. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 I think I might, many years from now of course, snuff it in mid November. I'll miss Christmas and the funeral is likely to be on a freezing cold day in the pissing rain. I'd also request a Psalm that goes to about 100 verses is sung by the mourners. Reason why? If I'm not having a good time no-one else should! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raidernation Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 M father was buried, I was obviously on a cord, only other time was at my best friend’s funeral back when we were 21. Bitch we’re pretty grim.Mrs RN#2 had a humanist service, I had to do the eulogy because virtual no one else knew anything about her. Her ashes went into the Forth, by her request, by S Queensferry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be said, tragic though the circumstances were, at least you fulfilled many a P&Bers dream there by seeing your wife get in the sea... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
