Death and Covid rules and Regulations.

We just asked for the cheapest it really was what Dad would have wanted I can't think of anything worse than Coffin shopping and it actually looked O.K.
Have mine planned, hole dug lined with OSB covered with a couple of plant pots on top. Cardboard coffin with some Argos stickers on it for good effect. Heathen, so know religious hoo ha just a few words from my son to say I tried to live life to the full and only disappointment is maybe missed some of it.
Rather put the money behind the bar for the knees up.

Sold a field and the day after completion the new owner buried his mother in it!
I was honoured to have been invited and as funerals go it was as good as it could have been. A bit odd with it being a field I had worked in all my life and had a lot of my own memories in there.

I've told my lot that when my time comes I am to be buried in my field very deep (I don't want to be found) and no marker is needed. I understand those left behind need/want somewhere to go where they think the deceased are resting but "Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep".
Go and stand on any of the local hills looking over the plain, that is where I will be.

Never thought of that going to dig it twice the depth now. Great idea!
