This subject can be seen in today?s Newspapers and Southwark Council Website.


Due to the rising costs some Crematoriums are going to stock pile the Bodies after the service to save the cost of the fuel that has to pre heat the chamber, then a continuous series of cremations will be held even days after the service had been held.

Those waiting for cremation could be kept in Council Buildings, in the coffin or body bags.

The Ashes normally are collected the following day but the delay could be days, as nobody will know when the cremation did take place.

This does question the viewing as all relatives may see the deceased put in the Furness.

Southwark Councillors have recommended two rises in the charges in a year.


It takes from 70 minutes to 200 minutes to do a Cremation, this is done as soon as possible after the service when the Mourners have left.


There will be extra movement of the deceased by transport and Bearers to a Refrigerated Store, and return at a later date.

These will add to the costs, will there be any saving at all?


The practice of hiring a Coffin, that is folded after the body is removed and replaced in the hearse, will have to be delayed.


A distressing subject but one that might give a great deal of distress to a relative if this is not known beforehand.

There is always this alternative.


Garden Burial

It is possible to bury a loved one in your garden. The law is contained in the Burial Laws Amendment Act 1880. A person who knows the circumstances of the death and has a lawful certificate of the cause of death must first register a death with the Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages.


It is then necessary to obtain consent from the local authority to enable the burial to take place. A body comes within the definition of "clinical waste" and as such cannot be disposed of except under the provisions of the Control of Pollution Act 1974 and the Environment Protection Act 1990. A licensed operator is usually needed but a local authority may waive the requirement in special circumstances. Remember it is a criminal offence to dispose of "controlled waste" otherwise than in accordance with the Acts. Before you consider such a burial stop and THINK what you would do if you ever decided to move!

It's an important subject. If you go to a cremation ceremony it is true that when the curtain closes the cremation does not happen immediately but DOES happen the same day. When you get the ashes back in the urn you see the date on the urn being the same date you ceremoniously 'said goodbye' to your loved one. To have a different date would - I should have thought - be quite upsetting to those who then wonder where the body was left for a few days.


I am interested in this thread and will be interested in the outcome. Thank you for alerting us. I do Humanist ceremonies so am professionally interested too!

Most Christian churches continue to uphold the belief that there will be a general resurrection of the dead at "the end of time", as described Paul when he said, "...he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world..." (Acts 17:31 KJV) and "...there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust."

I once bought a hospital for Nuffield Health - the lady (and I mean Lady with capital L) after which the hospital was named was buried in the rose garden. The sale & purchase agreement had a special clause that - forbade the purchaser to build over the Rose Garden or, if building was to occur then the body was to be removed to another site at the purchaser's expense.


Personally - I'm going for a burial at sea

Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith?


Thomas Aquinas wrote extensively about the mechanics of resurrection. His work still provides the Church with doctrinal answers to questions about what happens to those whose bodies/corpses are lost at sea or consumed by fire or even cannibals.


According to Aquinas, all deceased believers, whatever the fate of their mortal remains, shall be resurrected through God?s omniscience and omnipotence.

Burial.


Have you thought that there are so many people die of disease or incurable illness, should it be safe for the remains to remain there as now rights have changed giving the authority the option of using that plot again after 50 years, therefor disturbing any disease germs that might have survived?


Relatives look on the fact that a Grave is a lasting place that can be veiwed and place flowes and pay your respects.

But looking at graves how many do in fact get any person come there, as so many show no sign of care or flowers.

The intention is good but it can also be very upsetting for a relative to bare.


A Cremation would remove all traces of any contamination, even from the Ashes.


Regarding the storings of the deceased for later Cremation.

It is interesting reading Southwark Services Offered that Weekend Overtime rate is charged.


My own Funeral has long since been aranged and payed for in advance, as I have no decendants I do not wish to leave the arrangement and cost worry on the head of any far distant relative.


Not a subject that all like to disgus but we will all go there one day.

    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest.

    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
    • Hi all, Wondering if anyone else in/around SE22 is also having the unfortunate luck of having Evri parcels delivered by a very rude individual? Whenever we have parcels delivered, our front gate is being slammed open and closed, ring doorbell is harshly banged (not pressed) followed by simultaneously banging on the door knocker and slamming the letter box multiple times. Someone is normally home by the time they come in the evening and never has to wait long for an answer. If we’re not home, we speak to them on the doorbell so we do find the actions of this individual unreasonable and rude.  We have tried a couple of times politely asking that they not do this but they are very dismissive and gives a passive-aggressive “have a nice day” reply.  Has anyone been able to contact Evri and successfully had any issues similar to this resolved? We have enough evidence through our doorbell footage but we are lost with what else we can do. We’ve tried asking politely but don’t want our gate or door damaged by someone who simply doesn’t care and lacks basic manners.    If anyone else is having this issue or has any advice on how we can report this, it would be much appreciated. After another dismissive reply to my concern this afternoon, I will be calling Evri tomorrow to raise a complaint. I have lost my patience with them
