Wonder if they’ll let you press the button that starts the conveyor - or strike the gas jets ?
Now I’m getting on in years I seem to be ‘Going up to the Crem’ - and on to the reception at a local pub afterwards - with increasing regularity to say ‘goodbye’ to various family members, friends and acquaintances.
Rather poignant to think that one day you’ll ‘Go up to the Crem’ . . . but you won’t be going to the pub afterwards.

Out of interest - is the Christian cross behind the stage (?) removable?
It's always confused me as I assumed a crem was non-religious?

Reminds me of what my uncle Jack (a crusty old farmer) used to say, "don't waste good money on a funeral just put me in a sack and put me in the slurry pit

Better under the runner beans, they like a good organic layer to root in.

Youngest doesn't want any form of funeral service, he just wants sticking in a hole, after making sure he's properly dead, no embalming etc. He'll be worm food within days. Can that legally be done?Apparently my Grandad on my Dad's side used to say: 'Just chuck us in the garden. Get some decent rhubarb.'
(Not altogether sure Grandad flavoured rhubarb might have a market.)

Pretty sure it wouldn't have worked for my Grandad @Glam as they lived in a council house in Sheridan Sreet. I figure the council wouldn't want any future tenants digging up bodies even through decent rhubarb.
I'm going in for medical research, probably end up in dozen flasks of formaldehyde with teacher holding them up and telling his students: "This is how not to treat your internal organs."

Yes, but ... If you are the freeholder technically you can bury someone on your land, provided they have been properly certified dead and the death registered. However you have to prove to the Environment Agency that it won't contaminate any watercourses. In practice there may be a few more problems.

Such as? I'm not being rude, I'm seriously interested. If it's what he wants, there may come a time when either myself, or his brother will have to make the arrangements. Possibly earlier than expected if he keeps going the way he is.

I think you should consult the: 'Jimmy Hoffa Disposable Company' out of New Joisey.
