I want to be cremated in a coffin with 36 hoops placed round the inside of the coffin and a bottle of malt whisky from my collection placed in each one - I want to go out with a BANG :-D :-D :-D |

My 3year old Grandson loved to sit on his Granddad’s tractor, pretending to drive it, when he died he was transported down the church drive on the back of it. No ‘black crows’ handled that small white coffin, or attended this service; in life it would have scared him. The full church congregation sang ‘The wheels on the bus’ his favourite song. |

My late father in law always said that coffins and funerals were a waste of money so he would be happy to be rolled up in an old piece of carpet and dropped into the lake. When we cleaned out his shed we found an old carpet and we were almost hysterical with laughter remembering what he had said :-D |

As I live a very short distance from the village graveyard, it would be pointless, and a complete waste of money to pay for a hearse to convey me to my final resting place. |

Way to go lol - did he request that (even in a jokey way)? Spose it is no different to firemen going on fire engines, and there is a sidecar hearse as well. |
