£75, yes £75, to deliver a CARBOARD coffin!!

and another £100 for the flipping coffin, made out of CARDBOARD!!

Good god, I am so glad that I am not actually in the situation of needing their services, but imagine someone being given a quote like that. Price gouging at a time like this is far from acceptable.

Newcastle United coffin is not really for me, and they are asking for £95 delivery for that one!!

I guess it's dangerous round there.

Probably Volumetric hence the ridiculous delivery fee, even so I'd expect it to be flat pack at the very least.

Scooby Soon!

if they are sending it on a double pallet then it could quite easily cost them £75, cardboard boxes are VERY expensive to buy you would be amazed at the prices.... for a short run in that sort of size I can see it easily costing £20+

From experiance...

The 33% PM is without doubt the easiest income ever

I reckoned my old boss was making about £12k clear a week! back in the 80'S

When my mother in law was arranging her mums funeral you can get skip & sofa style coffins. I was saying to the wife the other day to save money with my funeral and just throw me in the ground.. > Is this allowed?

Afaik there is nothing against it, unless the law has changed / been introduced Theoretically yes, its only for decency and dignity that coffins are used. But then its not you who is doing the arranging/ attending so to speak.

Also the undertaker may refuse to handle things unless a coffin is used.

with regards to chucking in the ground. again unless the law has changed, you can in theory be buried anywhere unless subject to local bylaws / covenants ect. but you must meet certain requirements (depth location etc)

However if you do choose to be buried under the patio etc, it prolly wont do much for residual values of your property
