    Cost of a funeral!

    £126m apparently.

    Hope you’ve got your CO-OP funeral plan payments up to date?

    No…..I thought I’d use that sad sack middle aged man clothing from your wardrobe and do your wife a favour.

    It’s a shame that someone as young as her has to be seen out with her f kin dad.

    FFS…..have a clear out.

    Just had a clear out before we vacate our rental - manly USA brands like Zara and Ralph Lauren! Plus given loads of other house hold items such as sofas and chests of drawers to Ukrainian families. Could have made quite a bit bit so rewarding to help Ukrainians by gifting items for free!

    What a waste of money funerals are. People pick the best wood and brass for a coffin only to have it buried or burnt. They have a ***** vicar telling people what a fantastic person they were even they never met them. People pretend to be upset even though we all know they are only there for the grub and booze and whatever may have been left.
    People who are hoping to attend our funerals are in for a disappointment.
    Having a good life is better than any good funeral.

    My funeral will have no prayers, I’m not a hypocrite.

    No hymns either.

    I’ll have a wicker or plywood coffin.

    My wish is to have a screen erected in the crem and for certain videos to be played of my favourite songs…..guests can sing along if they want.

    Boston…..More Than A Feeling ( I woke up this morning and the sun was gone, I put on some music to start my day, I lost myself in a familiar song, I closed my eyes and I drifted away! )

    I’ll also write my own eulogy……it’ll be a stark and brutal critique of me and my life, I don’t want a stranger talking sweet b o l l o x about me and I don’t want a family member feeling they have to say nice things.

    I want people to leave my funeral saying to each other….,”fk me, I wasn’t expecting THAT”.

    We aren't having a funeral at all, just taken away burnt and have our ashes returned and scattered.
    If people want to go for a drink in my memory that's fine... but they will have to buy their own drinks.😛

    I’d love to be a fly on the wall at my own funeral.

    I’d like to see just how few attend, I have very, very few friends, I’ve never really bothered about having mates since I got married and I’ve only ever bothered about my wife, kids and grand kids for 37 years.

    I’ll actually be providing my kids with a list of people I don’t want to attend as these are people I don’t actually like and who are being hypocrites by even contemplating attending……some of these are actually family members who I can’t stand.

    I’d be surprised if there’s even 20 people at my goodbye……I might limit it to 10.
