mint Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 My OH says put him out to the cheapest tender!But, can't you donate your body to medical science like you can do in the UK (or so I'm told)?Any what's wrong with a pauper's funeral or don't they have those either?Can I just dig a hole in the garden?

Bannon Posted September 16, 2008 Author Share Posted September 16, 2008 I seem to remember that in the UK technically it is the responsibility of the local authority to dispose of bodies so in theory you could put your OH in a black bin liner, dump it outside, and just wait for collection day. It is also possible to bury your OH in the garden as long as you own the freehold and as long as you inform the water authority (something to do with the water table I think) and I suppose you'd have to tell any potential house buyer. Living in France and not being bothered either way I've told my OH to do whatever she wants - bury or burn whatever is cheapest and easiest. Added to which, she hopes there's a heaven, I hope there's not - otherwise I'll get nagged until eternity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woolybanana Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 In Paris at least there is a paupers' grave. Where all the best artists and writers end up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all how can an ink blob represent a nuclear explosion of which you are in terror of your life (or whatever it is you see in the ink blob)!
