How do they do funerals in the US..?.. ..in the UK funerals were pretty traditional..very church orientated... whether you liked it or not.

Then they started to loosen up a bit ..you could have a humanist do the service..instead of a religious figure...but..honest..that was not much better.. IMO.

But..you had options.

Then a few years ago a new concept come in...the No service cremation..

When someone dies..they pick the body up..and within a month they return the ashes to you..if you want them back.....and.. that's it.

Me Mother hated funerals so much...that she donated her body to medical science years ago.....her rational..no body..no funeral.

So anyway..these adverts come up on UK TV about these no service cremation and she said..if med science don't want my body.. (they didn't)..I want one of those.

She got it..and I have to say...it was her last gift to us...

We are a blended family..5 older step children..and me and my brother.

My real brother and my step brother have a hatred going on..that has ended in full blown fist fights...and the only reason they kept it in check was outta respect for me mother.
At her funeral would be just the place for it to kick off.. with her not standing in between them.....

He also hates me step sister.....yeah.. families huh...?..but I get on with both of them.......

So it puts me in an awkward position...my real brother doesn't want me sharing info with the step family... outta respect I'm sharing it.....gawd....

Funeral would be fraught huh...?..apart from having to fly over....I'd be living on me nerve ends having to keep me eyes on me bros when they got a few drinks in them...


But she cut all that crap out..... Bless her.

The hardest part was her passing...not the funeral stress...

When my mother chose the no service option..hubby and me talked and chose the same..we pre-warned the kids......if either of us dies you will just get a phone call.. don't bother grabbing a flight coz there will be no service to come to.

When I phoned my step bro and sis I said.... BTW...we have chosen the same option....and both said...so have we...

Are we looking at the end of the traditional funeral....?...... can't come fast enough... IMO..

Look what my sister said...

We decided long ago that we were going to have funerals
without any ceremony.its less painful for the kids and a lot cheaper.


She's absolutely spot on..... easier on the kids..

(And us kids are in our 60-70's.......)

You can get paintball regulators and solenoids for CO2, and small tanks for experiments.

You def need a meter to see what your levels reach and how long it lingers after release
