Re: Debt collection agencies

As I said its not that simple. There is only one place in the British Isles where you can bury a body at sea and even then you will need a Home Office Licence

So you wait until the ferry is outside UK waters before dumping the stiff over the side.

Simples!

Presumably you wouldnt bother with The Coroners Order allowing you to remove the body from out of the UK

The funeral costs here are twice that measly 600 left.

Like i say with our limited sercive package it leaves a remainder of 1564 after the DWP payment. Its awful

An awful situation that could affect many in the future!

Extremely worrying...

Coffins do not need to be made of Timber. Our local crem does a nice line in cardboard coffins. Obviously pacemakers only need to be removed for cremations. It's quite acceptable to bury someone with a pacemaker. There are very few metal handles on coffins nowadays even for earth burials. The majority are now plastic so that's why you rarely see anyone lifting a coffin by its handles.

Hi ODC,

Thanks for correcting me. What you have posted is interesting. Most of the funerals where I live - burials and cremations - seem to use, mainly, coffins.

Re: Debt collection agencies

Easier said than done mate. There is a bit more to it than buying a coffin and burying it

You wouldn't be referring to hygienic treatment, by any chance? Regarding burial at sea, when I was in the police force, quite a few people used to be cremated at one of the two crematoria we have where I live and their remains then taken outside territorial waters in a specially-prepared urn and then gently lowered over the side of a boat. It had the lovely name of "Committal of Cremated Remains to the Deep". We used to escort the boats with a police launch to a designated spot and then hang around and keep other boats at a discreet distance whilst the committal took place. Those taking part expressed, on returning to dry land, that it was a lot more dignified than taking a coffin out to sea for burial.

Why not?

As long as the corpse is dealt with in such a way that it inconveniences none and does not become a public health hazard, why should it matter where it is doposited?

As a matter of interest, do you know which statute - if any - prohibits one from eating a human corpse once all the legal niceties of registration and so on have been completed?

There is no problem at all about burial of 'Cremated Remains, at sea or indeed scattering them. Burial of a body at sea is very restricted and requires a home office licence

Its the law of the land that the Coroner must give permission for any body to be removed from the jurisdiction. This applies equally moving a body from England to any other part of the UK or vice versa.

Re: Debt collection agencies

I'm going to be buried at sea.

Specially for all those who want to dance on my grave!

[CleverClogs]

Re: Debt collection agencies

Yes.

Now, how about eating the stiff?

Is there any law that would forbid my executor from serving up Fricassee de Clever Clogs in place of the traditional ham tea?

I understand human flesh takes like pork. The fingernails might be a bit chewy, though. LOL!

Coffins of all types - traditional & alternative

Here is a choice of coffins and a really useful site to find out all about funerals. Unfortunately they make no mention of Cannabalism but Im sure if you contact their Papua New Guinea website you will find a wealth of information.

DCAs are experts in attempting to get a pound of flesh so you could try them as well

flowers
car and
a few ham sandwiches.

The NAFD used to estimate that it took 40 man hours to arrange a Funeral so £ 71.25 isnt a bad hourly rate plus the huge markup on a coffin exolains why most FDs are driving around in Jags or Mercs

Re: Debt collection agencies

Why would it take 40 hours to arrange a basic funeral?
Sounds rather far fetched!
