Watching Haley?s Funeral on Coronation Street.

Reminds me of a Funeral for one of my Old Comrades Cremated last year, his Coffin was made to look like one of the Army Tanks he recovered as a REME Fitter.

None of the Mourners followed the Hearse to the Crematorium, we just looked as it headed by the person who organized the funeral until it turned the corner out of sight.


I think that my selection might give some thought to the Bearers as to if they would like to carry it.

It certainly would cause a problem at the Cremation.

I must watch Corrie later. I don't watch soaps but - yaknow - it's what I do as a Celebrant.


What is important about arranging a funeral is that it is all about choice, and maybe they all agree to get to the Crematorium separately, and sometimes people find it difficult to think about bearing the coffin. (It becomes difficult of course if they're all different heights!)


LOVE that coffin, I did one a month ago with one in the Arsenal theme (I think each of the major teams sell their copyrighted logo coffins now).


And - my Dad was in REME!

    • It’s a flat fee levy payable by guests staying in hotel and hostel rooms, so added to the bill.  This already happens in Manchester and Liverpool ( I think in Liverpool it’s a percentage, so the more expensive rooms pay more). I read somewhere that Edinburgh is doing this next year? Charges of this kind are becoming common around the world. I think it absolutely makes sense for Southwark and other boroughs are bound to follow.
