Raidernation Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I really have no specific requests regarding my remains. Told my girls to do what they want, or just go as cheap as possible 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tie string around your trouser bottoms. Fill your trouser legs with ashes. When you reach the desired spot, discreetly untie your trouser bottoms and walk about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEADOWXI Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 May have been mentioned before but Medical Science isn't always the answer. Gran wished to be left to medical science, all arranged and sorted years before, Glasgow Uni would come and collect when she went. They came, they looked, they said no. The possible consumption of a bottle of brandy a day for years apparently made the cadaver not worth having. Rejected as a dead body, the final turndown. So the crem it was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Told my girls to do what they want, or just go as cheap as possible That’s the spirit…and if some people complain they “needed” a service to say goodbye, they can pay for one! I suspect there’s a very high percentage of those that attend these events to “say goodbye” are the ones the deceased croaked quietly by him/herself to avoid seeing/hearing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 (edited) Nothing particularly noteworthy from either of my parent's funerals except I look back and wish I'd asked the person reading the eulogy to skip the fucking prayers and religious bits. Was too fucked in the head to care at the time but now I wish it had been done differently. f**k family though. There's been plenty of funerals over the years and the words "stay in touch " always gets mentioned but never followed through on anyone else's part. You choose your own family the way I see it now, the c***s who are there for you when it matters and you'd be there for them, related or not.

Nothing but nothing will bring them back and the only thing which would make the situation worse would be emptying the bank account in a futile attempt to quell feelings of guilt or to be seen to be doing the right thing by others. Dealing with the death of a loved one is a shite state of affairs. Personally, getting through the formalities as quickly and as cheaply as possible so that you can focus on actually grieving is the best way. That comment about picking out a coffin from a glossy brochure as though it was a holiday is spot on. I'm trying not to be critical of others personal choices though. Each to their own TBH. TBF, you're going to be in it for quite a while.. just saying 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having previously had to google a Scottsdad reference, it was my own PC and inprivate browsing on. Also, not bad.
