Funerals (Again..)
74 Answers
How can you die without having a funeral?
Ive decided that I really don't want a funeral when I go. I think that its all mostly a bit of a money making scam for the funeral directors etc.
Ive got no insurance to pay for my funeral when I shuffle of this mortal coil because I couldn't care less what happens to my left over flesh when I die. Put it in the bin for all I care. But I'm beginning to find all the sentimentality around funerals nauseaus. Sentimental rubbish.
How can I let it be known that I really couldn't care less (my wishes) what happens to my body when I'm dead and that I really don't want a funeral as such. And what will happen to my remains should my wishes be carried out? Would the state just incinerate them?

The undertaker will put me in the cheapest possible coffin and deliver me to the crematorium in whatever vehicle is available. I will be cremated early in the morning because that is an unpopular time for cremations and many crematoriums charge less.
No mourners, no flowers, no plaque, no prayers.

Its free if youre destitute but as you have a son he might have to pay. Your corpse can be delivered in a body bag (by appointment) by any vehicle. Local council website have crem rates. A docs cert £70, is required by crematorium. Ashes left at crem are spread in gardens, by request, or held for 6months (chargeable to collector).
If you die and nobody arranges your funeral or takes responsibility for doing so the state will indeed have you cremated. If you have any assets the costs will be recovered. I don't think it is fair for the council tax payer to foot the cost of your funeral, though, unless there is no alternative.
My council even charges me to dispose of certain types of rubbish at the tip.

not sure if as an RC I can be interred as a proddie - but I have told my executors to cope with that as best they can
using my death as a damned good reason for those that are left to have an almighty poss up
