I'd better not scare the kids by putting it on my wish list!

Did you know according to the law you can be buried anywhere if you own the land, even in your back garden if you want. All you have to do is notify the council. Oh yes and have a valid death certificate to prove you haven't committed a murder. :wink:

Just so! I recently went to a funeral and burial in the deceased's orchard, it was the most peaceful service and internment. Regards Rodders

Blimey, don't tell my wife that - she'll probably just lob me on the compost heap when I snuff it :shock: :lol:

Cheers :wink:

Christ Paul - I just wasted some beer when I read that :lol:

What if your next of kin sells the house / land after you're gone? i don't remember seeing a tick box on the Q&E forms.
I s'pose they could leave a welcome to your new home card with a note " Can you put a bunch of daisies on me dads grave every sunday please".

I did make a casket for someone's ashes from Iroko, its buried in a back garden now. Pete

I made one in oak first for Dad and a few years later for Mum.
Probably the hardest things I've ever had to make and i confess to shedding a few tears in the making but very rewarding to know it was something they both wanted and the very last thing I could do for them.

Not ready to make my own yet though :wink:

In a cardboard box, in the incinerator, ashes thrown to wind at Carn Brea, and a couple of grand on the bar. Loud music, drunkenness and general mayhem. Party time. Anyone mentioning religion politely asked to leave. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I am going to be buried at sea as my ex wife said she would dance on my grave. :lol:

I've said whatever's cheapest for me. The wife says she'll just leave me where I fall then.

Added to my wish list, that should scare the wife!

[Phil Pascoe]

Lies, damn lies, statistics and government figures.

 

[Graham Orm]

I read somewhere that 82% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

 

[david123]

Would that be "spot the faulty statistic"

As the old gag goes:

On your death do you want to be buried or cremated? I don't know, surprise me...

When my "hairy" Land Rover special was completed, my mate scrambled underneath it and said "bloodyell Tone - this thing will see us both out". To which I replied "I damn well hope so - 'cos I'm taking it with me when I go"!
