Anyone pre-planned their own funeral?

[SkidsFox]

I'm quite tempted by the woodland burial myself, seems more eco-friendly. Anyone set this up?

Not my problem. 

 

That said, I'd be both amazed - and appalled - if my kids chose anything other than a cardboard coffin for me

 

I genuinely cannot see the point in a coffin. Surely one right up there as the biggest waste of money possible

Not happening,  I ain't dying, ever.

Burn me. Chuck my ashes over the neighbours fence to repay him for being an annoying twat for several years. I hope his precious grass dies under my soul.

I offer this service. £1000 cash and I’ll get my shovel.

I'm not going to be buried. I'm going to be stuffed and placed in a chair at IKEA.

Keep me on ice until the next black bin collection.

I'm waiting for that cyronic technology to fully arrive, I prepare for being frozen for years and years by regularly changing train at Ely station, so cold that Bear Grylls avoids the place and the SAS use a cheap day return there as a training exercise. Mates will probably stick a broom handle in and turn me into an ice lolly for the "Bants".  A Faz "Fab"  with sprinkles on and a naff joke printed on the lolly stick, what a legacy.

Can't help you but I'd never heard of this until last week when a colleague said it's was his Dad's funeral and it was just in somesort of woods. It sounded like nobody attended though??

[Daggers]

I don't even pre-plan supper.

[goose2010]

leave me to science, my granddad left his body and it was used at Leicester Uni. We got a report back about 2 years after he had passed to explain what they had used it before and how the science used managed to save X amount of lives. Was a fascinating read. 

 

They did ask if the family wanted what was left of him back. We politely declined and he was then cremated.

Burn me, bang me, who cares, when you're dead your dead.

There are three natural burial sites in the Leicester area, and my spot in one of them has already been reserved and paid for. It's very easy to set up, and you can also reserve two or more spots next to each other. (They cost about the same as a City season ticket.) You can also often have a tree planted at the same place, so eventually the area will become woodland. The coffins are wickerwork, made from bamboo or willow, and are eco-friendly. A slightly cheaper option is manilla cardboard. The clothes worn by the deceased person should also be made from natural fibres.

Are you saying you wouldn't mind if someone defiles your corpse?

That would be some wake in the chapel of rest.

It's a quote, though not verbatim as I can't remember the exact line, that Frank Reynolds (Danny devito) said in it's always sunny in philadelphia.

I had fish pie from Aldi, in case anyone is interested. 
 

It must have had lactose in it. Don’t ask me how I know, stay in the dark.
