I myself believe that the last rites and burial of a human being should be respectful. |

Well next week on Alex Polizzi The Fixer (bbc 2 on Tuesday) she is giving advice to a Funeral Director who is struggling to make a profit so it might be interesting to watch the programme and see where he's going wrong. |

I dont think there are any poor undertakers. And they will never have to worry about being out of a job. |

We had a wicker coffin for my Dad as it looked less morbid than the wooden ones - cost about the same - nearly had a cardboard one decorated with Welsh flag but chickened out! You can have pretty much anything on a cardboard coffin it seems. |

cardboard coffins have been used for a while, usually for cremations. |

The aim of the acts was to lessen imports of fabrics from overseas and to boost the home wool industry. |

There is some sort of movement that believes in "wild burials" in any place that catches their fancy. They say that the use of cardboard coffins is ecologically sound. Nothing about bodies being buried in unexpected places. |
