You'd be amazed at the amount of uncollected ashes they have stored in the cellars
I hesitate to ask, but...am I the only person whose reflex upon reading that was to think of what good they might do an allotment ? 
I have in the distant past been convinced I wasn't going to last much longer, sometimes not till the dawn - and as you can see, I ain't dead yet. (It's the fridge, honest.) Nowadays, I am thinking of being planted under a tree in the local green cemetery - where by coincidence I learned recently one of my best friends and his wife are to go - a wicker coffin seems appropriate, as everyone will agree I was sometimes a basket case.
Like Frank, Opus would do me very nicely ta. (And about a million other tracks. I might have a list for attendees.)
Although...I do fancy the idea of "resting my weary ash..."

My Grandad died a couple of years ago and his funeral was wonderful. He was 93, so a good innings etc. He was a farmer so we had a wicker coffin decorated with local crops & flowers and the music was provided by the silver band he'd been a member of since he was a boy. They also played whilst we had a slide show of photos from his life. It was followed up by a proper Chapel Tea, He'd have loved it

Trouble is tho, the will reading doesn't usually get done till after the funeral? Could be a lot of 'ooops' at the reading then!Ali

Love the idea of a woodland burial. Might have to check that one out.

My Grandad Passed In 2001 and he was the heart of the family but never left a will and the desision as to what to do ripped the family apart he was Cremated (he never wanted) and he was buired in a family plot in a church grave yard over the road from my uncle who lives littrally directly over the road dispite not wanted to be buried in a grave yard.... they went against all his wishes.... i learnt that you have to make a will even if its a small one or people who you think you can trust to follow your wishes only do whats best for them.... his funeral Music suited him to a T ... the closing one was you will never walk alone as he was a liverpool fan.. not a dry eye in sightOnly after the last tree has been cutdown Only after the last river has been poisoned Only after the last fish has been caught Only then will you find
That money cannot be eaten

£500 !
What a wick(er)ed cost ! It's cardboard for me then. I'm bound to have some spare lying about at the allotment.
People will be queueing up to finally box my ears for all those puns...

Sadly Woodland burials are very expensive, I checked them out a while ago as I like the idea a lot.
You can even be buried in a lovely decorated leaf-shaped "sleeve/bag?" made from jute which I really liked but that was more than I could afford. Pity - so it will have to be one of those white cardboard coffins for me. Why waste money on some fancy wooden coffin that's only going to be burnt or buried?Forbidden Fruits make many Jams.Comment
