Undertakers And Funerals

Wondered if, should you buy a really expensive casket, brass handles and all that, they are really incinerated in cremations. Seems an awful waste...

The undertaker won't sell brass handles for a cremation.

tambo - each "oven" is sized for one body only. It is illegal to burn more than one body at a time, unless say it is stillborn twins or a mother and a stillborn child - they are allowed to go in the same coffin.
If I remember rightly the oven temp is around 2000F and it takes about an hour to burn each 7 stone of bodyweight

Brilliant thread, answered lots of questions I've pondered about.

There you go £50. That'll do for me!
I've been to a couple of funerals recently and noted the difference in peoples desire to please the departed.
One had a relative say a few words, and the request was no flowers....except for the bucket of roses placed at the entrance,purchased at Sainsbury earlier in the day. There was enough for each mourner to take one each and place on the coffin. All very informal and friendly.
If I have my way my funeral will be the cheapest possible. I've warned the family I will be back to haunt them if they don't do as I wish. And they have instructions to buy themselves a bunch of flowers to place in their home.
