Are funeral costs worrying you to death?
A quick search online has shown that your funeral costs can be almost as expensive as buying a car! For example, with AgeUK, funeral costs can be over £3,000*

However, in searching for this information , our researcher noticed a company called CremDirect who operate in the North West, who offer a packaged service for only £1,750, as well as offering to help apply for a grant, if appropriate.

Does this mean the internet is lowering prices? What level of service did you receive from your funeral director on your 'big' day' - did it go smoothly, were your wishes respected and how did you feel 'overall' on your special day?
So if you passed away recently, please get in touch and let us know your views
p.s. No frogs were injured during this investigation

Ivor Rash was on Moanchester recently reporting his own death.Perhaps he could enlighten us.
ReplyDeleteI don't think Mrs Rash was planning a funeral for him was she? Unless you consider a kebab shop as a suitable location for the service.
DeleteThe prospect of my mortality is worrying me into an early grave.
ReplyDeleteIf only some of the Utility companies could branch out into funeral services, we might achieve something approaching immortality. "We will call to take you to the crematorium sometime between 2030 and 2050, please ensure you are home" would do me.
I believe the co-op are into selling gas/electric now
DeleteIt wouldn't be the first time:-
