And Lucy has had a complete face change.

Teee Heeee.

My Nana always told me the reason for large headstones was to keep the beggars down.

lol

:-D

I reckon that £15 grand was for the Concrete to make sure that at least one member of Eastenders never comes back :-D :-D :-D

Sooooo, Wicksy came back to lay a bunch of flowers on his dear old Mums grave.

I really, really hope he doesn't come back into it.

Where do all these Brannings keep coming from.

We don't want to start with the Wicks clan again.

Sorry to see David go. Mind you it must have been hard for him to be a villian and a doctor at the same time. lol

Yep I was having a laff about the solid gold handles.

But undertakers reckoned Pat had a heart of gold, so I thought I would embellish a bit.

Wash my mouth out with soap and water.

:-D

It was filmed a while back in my village,
St James church Bushey , it has some lovely victorian headstones too !

Julia.....I was offered a seat on the bus by not one but two men last week :-0
It's safer to be seated especially the way they drive here but I'm afraid I thought "Blimey! do I looked that cream crackered!"
It's a double edged sword!

Showing respect for the dead, really is only good manners, but it means alot to the mourners.
Somethings I have not done for over twenty years is, close my curtains at the time the funeral takes off from the house of someone else on the street, and donate to a collection going around the street, to pay for a wreath from the neighbours. They always used to do that, but I have never seen either around here, as I said, must be twenty odd years.

Solid gold handles, yer 'avin' a larf, aint yer. LOL

PS. Meant to say, I practically go orgasmic, if a man doffs his hat to me, or does the same, and opens a door. Just the simple, but lost things in life.

Julia,
It means so much to the bereaved when a passerby stops for a moment of respect doesn't it?
Though we did have a nob of the other variety try to cut through the courtege at an aunts funeral - I'd never seen my dad wave his hands about like that at another driver before.

Back on topic 15K??? Well it would have to be on Eastenders wouldn't it? *rolls eyes smiley*
Did some one say 'solid gold handles'? *shakes head at the thought of the stoooopid script writers*

My stepmother wants a wicker coffin, she has one in her garage all ready. (At least that's what she says, none of us dare go in there to look!!)

Well, let me tell you. When it was my Mum's funeral, 15 years ago, the funeral was done by the Kerp, as Peter Sellers always called it.
The house was two down from a road junction. We all got in the cars ready to set off, with the hearse, naturally infront. The head undertaker, stood in front of the hearse, and led the procession out of the junction and up the hill. Even a double-decker bus pulled over, and stopped.
I was most impressed. I thought to myself, if it's good enough for the nobs, it's good enough for my old Mum. She would have been very impressed herself.

ibest start saving my 2's n 1's for mine then haha x

Uncles is next week and its all the little bits that add up crematorium wanted £250 for casket for ashes undertakers asked £75. have to pay extra charge to crematorium as he is being cremated somewhere else so charging £85 to allow him to be burried there. cremation site is £5000 thats for him and when other uncle goes hes goingin with him and as he said its only a hole with a rock on top.

Non religious cremation is just over £3000.


Aunt who died this time last year had a wicker coffin and it was lovely and would really consider it may even put it into my funeral plan thats what I want.



Eldest watchered Eastenders with me last night and looked at me when they said price said its ok me and your dad have got pre paid funeral plans quick as a flash she said what about the hole have you paid for that. Ever the loving practical daughter lol

Remind me not to cut my nails when I think I'm gonna snuff it.

I need to be able to claw myself to the surface.

:-(

Never watch but thank god we've paid for ours.

FRIENDS BROTHERS MOTHER IN LAW'S
HEADSTONE JUST THE MASSIVE MARBLE BASE
STONE WAS £12,000
THEY FOUND A CHIP IN THE CORNER
IT WAS REPLACED

;-)

*makes a note of that... :-D <3 ;-)

Sorry Not read all the thread....but the horse and carriage with the big things on their head has been adopted as the wannabee think they are gangster funerals up here like the Eastend like a badge of honur or a status symbol in the so called criminal world, there is nothing glamious about glorifeid thugs and criminals at all I think its tacky and would be rather dragged to my funeral in a wheely bin tied to the back of a dustmans cart :-D

You should go back to the old days Jules, ask to have a bell fitted.
