I plan to have a cardboard one and be buried  At Clovery Woods of Rest which is not that far from here. Can't think of anything nicer and its Eco Friendly

I don't care what happens to me when I'm dead. They can chuck me on the tip for all I care. I suspect that coffins are not for us to choose but for those we leave behind.

Saw an advert for a swedish set of wooden shelves the other day that you can take apart and re - slot together into a coffin when the day comes.

Hmmm. We have a fair bit of swedish furniture here, but given past performances, I still hope to outlive most of it!!

Wouldn't be much fun for the folk who had to remove the corpses from the coffin and dispose of them.

Someone has to put them into the coffins in the first place. 

My sister does that for a living ().................after thirty odd years of mundane industry-related work, she did a course on undertaking, and started a new job some months ago. She seems to be getting on fine.

I can't get my head round it.

Glad there are nice people out there doing it for a living.
When you lose someone you love it's good to feel that their remains are treated with dignity and care.
Its not so different from midwifery and bringing people into the world. The families need as much care as the person who is coming or going.
A woolen coffin will still need a board under it by the way.

think I may start up a company making willow and wool coffins.....COFFINS R USS ....
    Always knew I would end up in a dead end job !!! spending lots of time in the Underground workers hotel at  dead centre of town !!!! It will be a grave decision though !!!
   I might even turn the land into a cemetery I could call it , Soylent Green pasteurised people....errrr no no no, Silent Green Pastures ...

sorry if that offended anyone ....I couldn't hold back any longer...


cheers
