No.
I'm slowly recovering from about four weeks of illness and I was checking the coffin situation just in case I suffered a relapse.

They're a waste of money, the bugger in it wouldn't give a Schitt what it was made out of , better to out into

Ive just sold my coffin.
It was a Case W7 loader that Ive had for many years and my kids have been telling me they will bury me with it and in it.
It was starting to look a bit sad and it was making me sad so I sold it thinking it might make me brighten up and live longer and basically p......s the kids off.
Now theyll have to pay someone to dig the hole.

Mike , I was an undertaker / coffin maker for over 10yrs , some of the requests I had can only be described as unusual , one of the common , yet one that the company never fulfilled was to be buried in "the car" , lots and lots of fallacies in the game re: cremations not burning the coffin handles ect ect , two things that you can be assured of is that in the business of death price becomes exorbitant and once you can fake sincerity you've got it made...... walk into a florist and order a dozen roses = 1 price , say they are for a funeral = 3 times the price for the same flowers.

There are two Axle:
the womb, because it would make such a perfect symmetry to life
the bottle, because I do like my wine

My old man died years ago after a terminal illness and just before the end I can remember him looking in the newspaper for 2nd hand coffins. I'm still not sure if he was serious or was pulling my leg, knowing him the latter I think.

Something for everyone there...
My mother inlaw is Scottish, and she wants a cardboard one...she figures she's not wasting money on something that's going to be burned...as I mentioned she is Scottish..her catch phrase is "I'm no Scottish for nothing"...I've told her I'll drape that phrase over her cardboard coffin.. in case of confusion.... :)
cheers
