Today we shall not rant about funeral undertakers. I appreciate I have stamped my little foot enough, and ranted, and they ARE doing a necessary job, and IT IS all about the people who will be there.... not the service itself.
I still don't understand why it costs more to stay at the morgue in Leith than it does to stay in the Malmaison hotel down the road (£682 per week if you're interested).
I still think Edinburgh District Council are taking the mick when they want £780 to DIG a grave. Not buy the plot, just DIG it!
I have NO IDEA why on earth it would cost the undertaker £100 just to bring a cardboard coffin 30 miles down the road from Perth.
And I am truly dumbfounded that DOCTORS are so hard up they need to charge £150 a pop to sign the CREMATION Form.
Enough. Enough already. At least the MUSIC will be good. W always said he wanted BB King's "Moving on" played. And he will have.
Love you Wayne

At the funeral of my friend's husband, they played Nat King Cole 'Unforgettable' and 'Smile'. Made everyone howl their eyes out, but obviously meant so much to her. Not sure what I'd want at mine. I rather hope that I have a while to think about it. Thinking of you.

Rog suggested I pop in and say 'hi'. I've been reading through your archive yesterday.
You are an amazingly strong woman, deeply compassionate and I love your sense of humour that shines through even in these very dark times.
If you don't mind, I will be back.
Many hugs my dear. Keep breathing deeply.

Mme DeF - if there was ANY justice in this world people with good taste in music wouldn't be having funerals.
Roses - Rog is in danger of receiving this week's star prize of Jock Dog in a gift box with silver ribbons.
Thank you both for your lovely comments.
