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

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 have always liked the idea of a wicker coffin, a friend of mine had one, but I thought they were more expensive than the basic wooden ones. I have always had a thing for baskets lol (Must be cos I am a basket case!)

I wouldn't mind a cardboard one, my o.h. is an electrical technician at a corrugated cardboard factory, if he brought me some boards home maybe I could make my own and hoard that as well lol

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