It’s ridiculously expensive. Paying so much for a wooden box that’s going to get cremated (if it’s a cremation funeral) – that’s all just for show imo. Then all the flowers and a service?
No thanks. Put me in an environmentally friendly bag and burn me in the back garden lol.
I’m probably going to donate my body to science anyway – at least some good will come of it and will help others.
You can just do it yourselves, digging a hole in the garden doesn’t require any specific skills or equipment. Some people are so lazy it’s no wonder they are skint!
Just remember where everyone is, you don’t want to dig up grandma when grandad needs burying.
I might leave it in my will that friends and family can hold a service but leave my body to the council, let them pay for it. Paupers funeral or something like that…
Edit: Weren’t they investigating the massive rise in funeral prices despite the costs not going up much?
Honestly its so sad.
We cant even mourn the death of loved ones without worrying about finances now.
This country is a DISGRACE!!,
If its that expensive, fill my body with fireworks and light me up like that dragon firework from Lord o’ the Rings.
I have a pure cremation locked in £1.5k I get cremated and my ashes sent to my next of kin
Direct cremation is a thing. The lowest I’ve seen here in Scotland was £750.
Funerals are such a swiz.
I’m dead and done, I don’t give a toss what you do to my body. Just roll me in a ditch somewhere, or prop me behind a closed door so the next person who opens it gets a surprise.
Solution: stop spending so much money on a dead person. They’re dead !
Now I know this isn’t going to affect everyone but funeral director who is a neighbour said that one of the things that costs a surprising amount is the removal of medical devices, so pacemakers for example, as these have a battery and has to be recorded and can’t just be removed by anyone, doesn’t appear to be a problem for replacement limbs.
I’ve told my family to hire a wood chipper and point it at the compost heap.
My rents are going into a blender and getting used as pig feed or just tipped down the drain, funerals are hella too expensive 😂
Donate your body to science. Be done with it. Then have a cheap memorial service at a relatives house.
Dont get me started! My mates MUM died the Church Service+Vicar+1 Car,cheapest coffin,driveup the hill 2miles £6000 grand for crematiorium.I thinking of going out to SEA but thats illegal
What even is the point of funerals, just move on there dead it makes the mourning even worse.
Personally I’m going for the Andor funeral package:
* Ashes baked into a brick
* Funeral procession with brass band
* My hologram gives an inspirational speech
* Someone uses my brick to twat a fascist in the face
* Riot breaks out
* Cold buffet
if you die with no relatives / next of kin / no plan then what?
what happens to your body?
If I do happen to have any family when I start getting on in years, I’ll be telling them to spend the minimum possible on the funeral, and if they can dump me somewhere for free, to do that. I’d rather see them spend any money on themselves, rather than a corpse.
Cost nothing to come into the world then a fortune to the fuckin government all the way through, the government should pay a standard funeral for everyone the fuckin Queens was free the government and the taxpayers paid for it what’s wrong with a paid plebs funeral.
Pretty sure the co op starts from £1065 for a pure cremation.
I am not having one. There is no legal obligation to do so. I want my body disposed of by the cheapest and most efficient means possible. If my loved ones want some kind of ceremony, that is up to them, it will be their money they are wasting.
yeah old school friend of mine lost his dad just before xmas, no funeral, nothing…they couldn’t afford it
Has anyone seen those pods that turn you into a tree. Turn me into an apple tree, make the cider of the apples and get mortal.
Or just feed me to stray dogs. Fuck it, I will be dead anyway
Fun and frugal fact: you can bury family in your own back garden as long as the death is correctly registered and you follow all legal guidelines
Councils use cremations as an easy income source. Most crematorium are council run and will have up to 6 a day costing over 1k each.
Can’t afford to live, can’t afford to die, what a time to..
Perhaps we need to just start dumping corpses outside Westminster til they do something.
As ever, they won’t ever give a damn until they’re personally affected.
Load my body into a trebuchet and fling me thru my local MPs front window.
