Plan B?

[vetran]

What about the respect for future ones that won't have any space to be buried in?

To be honest when space gets short the bodies just get dug up anyway.

I would prefer to be turned to dust and sprinkled (I pay NLDYUK extra for that).

Impose a burial tax of £50K a pop, to encourage more people to opt for cremation, preceded by new ecologically sound disposal techniques like freeze drying.

It's outrageous that so much land is cluttered up by a load of mouldy old skeletons, for nothing more than sentimental reasons. I'd plough up the whole lot and grind them up for fertiliser.

Basic human right and moral principle is that dead bodies should be respected.

I've told my wife that if I go first then I want her to call a taxidermist, have me stuffed and sat on the sofa.

Her response was something to the effect of sometimes she thinks it's already been done.

So you've visited the Rothschild museum in Tring then

A local museum for local people

I just looked that up. So basically it's the Acid Bath Murderer, except they hand your powdered bones back to your relatives and pour the rest of you down the bog.

I thought it was pretty neat.

On a similar line; when I was working in Madrid, the hotel was near a funeral self-service (I suppose you could call it ‘Stiffs Are Us’). It was a large place about the size of B&Q comprised of twelve or so drive in chapels set in parallel lanes where people would drive their own car or a hired hearse. I was a fraction of the cost of a formal church funeral
