I would like a wicker coffin but so far haven`t done anything about it but have made my Will. Funerals are horrendously expensive nowadays I was involved in arranging one last year and was amazed at the cost of what was a very ordinary funeral. I`m guessing my wicker coffin will cost an arm and a leg. Back to the wine

A snow plough? Now let's see who comes up with the most interesting/outrageous explanation got that. grin

Anyway RIP to whoever it is. It looks as if they planned their funeral and those left behind have honoured their wishes.
Have any of you planned your funerals? (Hopefully not to be needed for a long time.) I understand it is a great help to families at a difficult time.I have chosen my hymns and I'm on the lookout for readings to put in my 'funeral planning box'.

It could have been an African chief.

Great minds, Bags!

I'd think of Bet Lynch! Hope it wasn't a real leopard.

When you say "leopard skin", you don't mean real leopard skin, do you? shock

I immediately thought of Joan Collins!

I just let a hearse out of the undertaker's in town and saw the coffin was draped in lush leopard skin and covered in masses of flowers. It was led by a solemn man in all the gear. I'd love to know who it was and wished I had time to follow it. I bet she was fun and will be badly missed! I imagine it was a female!
