    Why should i go online and buy a coffin even if it is a bargain, i want need it until i'm dead. So let someone else pay then.
    My Mum always use to carry a donar card and say when they've taken all the bits that they can reuse put the rest in the wheelie bin on Sunday night before the bin goes out in the morning.

    And if the someone else didnt have the money?

    I dont think thats the case, unless you leave your body to medical science, if they take your organs your family will still need to bury or cremate you

    Hi Sailor Sam,
    I wasn't really asking about buying one for yourself, more so if you have to arrange for someone else. Would you consider pusrchasing and arranging yourself rather than go down the traditional route ?

    Both sides of my first post were a little tongue-in-cheek. But seriously though if i lived out in the country with a nice big garden i'd bury a love one, coffin or not in amongst a coppice with a special tree for them to live on.
    I suspect if i tried to do that were i live now neither the Council or the people next door would be to pleased.

    Hello Alex,

    Why don't you have a postal address on your website?
    :heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.
