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?

    • Wow, well served with local supermarkets then…  Agree with ATM.. good c position to been mugged or cloned card - prob why not been considered before. Wasn’t there one outside post office and still  is2where people were abit nervous of using? Hope I am wrong but won’t see me rushing to use it…sure lots of folk will benefit thou. Not a great fan or user of Iceland but when it closed years ago people complained..  Guess they only b look at bigger sites - can’t recall an express one but a pity to those who frequent the store. Strange that Tesco can use it as local but Iceland can’t - guess it is  power of large supermarkets. Personally would have  loved an Aldi or Lidl but  clearly site to small. Only grocery stores left to come are Waitrose, Aldi, Lidl… 
    • I'm paying £31 pcm for full fibre 300, whatever that is. I'm not sure it's a particularly good deal now, but I did a comparison at the time I went onto it, and it was then. I don't have a landline any more, and my mobile is with iD, who piggyback off 3. I don't usually have any problems,  except once a few years back when the whole 3  network (?) went  down for quite a long time.
    • I have Plusnet too.   I recently (August) had some problems with WiFi connection on different days but and the turning off and turning on didn’t work.  The WiFi didn’t work for quite a few hours - overnight in one case but eventually rectified itself.   Would be interested to know how much other people pay for Plusnet. I also have a landline with them as the mobile signal is bad inside house.  That is with EE and I want to change from them to another provider.
    • That's terrible 🤬 Was it the same company both times?
