    Maybe the funeral places won't allow prepaid ones for under 50 YOs because they think the service won't be needed for a long time IYSWIM. Could you contact some local directors directly and enquire?

    Hanging my head in shame because I've just been reading other people's posts and realised that in reality, Steve's redundancy and a written off car aren't major problems at all when compared with the things some people are going through.
