Just tell them that it's your beloved old great aunt Mable.....how are they to know any different.How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - 12 month spends to date = 2.60% of current retirement "pot" (as at end May 2025)0

Interesting - they explained why Pet's ashes can't be put in a coffin prior to cremation - fine I can understand that.
But no explanation why - in the case of burial!
Because if it is a human cemetery as opposed to a burial ground then a licence would-be needed to inter pet ashes/remains there, whether they don't the coffin or separate.
I'm sure any funeral directors would be wary about anything extra being placed in a coffin if they had any inkling pet ashes were involved. I think they tend to get what goes in anyway.
I can imagine somebody turning up with a casket claiming it's Aunty Maud's ashes but having a plaque ' in remembrance of Fluffy ' :-)0
