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!

    • To be fair, a pot of tea for one in a department store is a small pot, and you only get one cup or mug!
    • I know - we have been here lots of times since it first opened,  which is why we were disappointed that it was closed at a time it was supposed to be open, but with no notice to say why! I guess we will just  have to ask the reason at our next visit, but I'm not sure we will risk Saturday lunchtime again unless we find the closure  was an unavoidable one off ....
    • Nope. I don’t have this wrong. I’ve tried to put my point across respectfully, without resorting to personal, angry insults. And all my colleagues agree that the BBC got this right in its condemnation.    All you see is confirmation bias.    If you don’t realise that, then you’re part of the problem.    
    • We have always gone during the week at lunch time - great place and good value. Husband has been several times on his own and owner knows his first name. I could not go one time for some reason and she sent him home with some spring rolls (free)
