Thanks for all the advice
Why does it have to cost so much?
It happens to us all. My dad always said just put me out for the bin wagon! Guess what was coming up the street on the day of his funeral. We had smiles on our faces as we got into the cars. He would've laughed at that.
Other people have to make aliving out of this and wood's not cheap either.The only thing that is constant is change.0 -

Get a prepay funeral plan. I started paying about £10 a month, now it's £37 for a £5000 payout and is index linked so you will pay in more than you get. Go see your co-op about the prepayment option. :cool:0

Oh aye. You'll find the cardboard, paper mache, reed coffins more expensive than solid wood.0
