Wasn't too expensive for a recent family funeral I attended in Watford. But the prices quoted in that article mean when it's my turn to shuffle off this mortal coil I'll be getting cremated rather than buried. Over a grand more for a hole to be dug out & filled back in again!
If you want your ashes thrown out the window whilst driving the ring road it's cheap as chips. Especially if the ashes blow into a chippie.
As the economy deteriorates in post Brexit Britain, this becomes an increasingly more attractive option.
I had to arrange my old mans earlier this year. We went middle range on everything and that came in at just shy of £5k. They did offer a cardboard coffin for £175 rather than a wooden one, something I wasn't going to allow for my dad, but cheaper options are there. The thing that has been remarkable since his funeral has been the endless letters to me trying to up sell. I was offered the chance to have a memorial bench in the crematorium garden for just another £1,500, or £2,500 with the annual service package. Or I could buy a tree. Or a plaque. Or an urn to sit in some flowers. The final note was a letter from them asking me to sign their GDPR consent form to stay in touch for any future offers...absolutely barmy.
For bookings does one need to specify a particular date or can a range of dates be supplied ? If it then clashes with a "big bash get together of the Moog clan", presumably the burgers and nosh takes precedent and you would give it your best shot with what's left of the coals ? Would you mind a couple of The Cure tracks being played while I'm being grilled ? Oh, and sweet chilli sauce please.
It's no more expensive than anywhere else in the country. I've lost both parents in recent years (opposite ends of the country) and the bill was remarkably similar.
From what I remember, the items for human consumption were on the left (ie bottom of the slope) side of the grill.
Thanks RD. However I'm 6ft 3in so I imagine I will need the full available grill. I may even need to be "done" in 2 sittings.
Given the average age of our membership, I’m told prebooking is advised. Much of 2038 is already blocked out.
The cooked things (shawarma spiced chicken thighs which had slow roasted over 2 hours on the spit) were warming in the oven. The warming things were on the left. The needing to becooked and looking like raw offal bits were in the middle. The human cadavers were being brined and seasoned.
Pretty much any from the very start to the last album about 5 years ago. Best band ever. Not any of the happy stuff though. I want tears. This isn't a favourite but would be perfect ! Would be great hearing this at my funeral. Not that I'd hear it though.
Just put the price up for the sweet chilli option and demand will drop. Straight ketchup as the entry price.
Brentford FC have got it all sorted. Barely any need to leave your seat. They've appointed G Saville & Son as the club's official Funeral Directors https://www.brentfordfc.com/news/2018/august/savilles-funeral-directors-23.08.18/ As they say on their website: "The Club now has a partner to work with fans at the end of their lives." You can get a bespoke coffin in club colours and sporting the Brentford FC badge as part of the arrangement. And what's more there's a 10% discount if you've attended 10 or more away matches during the past season....
I thought you were going to say ‘10% discount if you’ve visited 10 or more funeral in the past season’ Surely we shouldn’t be paying for funerals anyway, they’ve had their pound of flesh and it’s every working persons right to die.
