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!

    • There was a Saturday afternoon crowd of enthusiasts, and at other times the owner might have been off acquiring stock. He also repaired air guns, which he also sold. He stocked edged weapons, uniforms, including antique uniforms, air guns and ammo and starting pistols and shot. Some medals and other militaria. Quite a lot of ex service chit chat on a Saturday. I had an amateur interest, didn't deal a lot, in English pattern swords and other mainly 19th century militaria. And made some good purchases there. I'm afraid WWII and later events was the major focus of most of the regulars. 
    • Did anyone actually venture in to that place? I recall it always being closed/very uninviting!
    • Perry Bamonte from The Cure.. Just 65 years old.  
    • Why would mice move? It’s not so much they move as multiply and spread    copy and paste rather than cut and paste  mice can and should be dealt with.  But not easily or with guarantees  i would say most people in se22 reading this have mice. Whether they know it or not
