If it's one of those ones with the feathered horses and an enormous floral tribute saying 'The Guv' or something, crawling along a high street holding-up an enormous queue of traffic desperate to overtake, then it might be worth filming.


But probably not for the usual humdrum trip to The Crem to watch the polyester curtains close followed by half an hour hanging about waiting to receive the cremulated ashes in a tinpot shoe-box.

My old nan had one of those - most peculiar - would have been worth filming too I reckon on account of all the shady strangers who kept telling me how sorry they were for my loss. Would have solved at least 6 or 7 open cases on Crimewatch I imagine.


However, I concur with the majority - the thought of someone filming my grief (or indeed unbecoming lack of it) is pretty abhorrent.

Well I did think..


It was "quite different" until an African guy I know said it wasn't unusual where he lived & in some parts of Italy it's OK too apparently


So as long as nobody shouts " Cut, we are going to need to shoot that scene from the top again folks " then it's fine by me


Of course the usual etiquette should still be observed like...


"No posed photo's with the stiff" or "Free commemorative T-shirts to go with the box set DVD at ?29.99"



Honestly though, I think it's just as odd filming your child being born, all that blood & guts.....bleeeaaachh



Each to their own though...



"Cumbia ya "





W**F

Sort of on a related note - if you go to the Twin Towers site in New York then there are loads of blokes hawking footage of the planes crashing into the towers etc, which I found pretty distasteful...but then 'one' is kind of rubbernecking by going there in the first place I guess.

Surely it's completely up to the family and friends concerned what they do.


If the camera person had nothing to do with the funeral, then that's a different matter, but if so and they weren't comfortable with it they could presumably have told them to f off.


Just because you wouldn't feel comfortable about it doesn't mean that nobody else would.


Each to their own, exactly woof.


For all we know the dead person might have asked for their funeral to be filmed. Weird, but possible.

"WANTED.... DEAD NOT ALIVE "

I dont suppose the deceased cared too much. Ive never been bothered about what is going to happen to me once actually dead. Someone quite 'cold' emotionally, told me recently what actually happens to the body whilst being cremated , he'd previously worked in two crematoriums. Its put me right off being cremated .

What did you previously imagine might happen to a body when subjected to extreme and sustained heat in an enclosed space?

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
