Burned Or Buried?

[BrianFaePerth]

Goes without saying old bill will be all over it like a car bonnet.

 

It will be stretch limo's and a black armani suit job, I'd imagine most of the major firms will be in attendance, will lay on jellied eels and pie n mash for the southern boys.

 

and then beating up some darkies as a tribute after?

Nah, we'll need someone to lower the coffin.

If they find my body then I'd like to be cremated.

 

As I hurtle towards the flame I'd like 1999 by Prince to be played.

Would Slaters be the best place in Aberdeen to get a suit for a funeral ?

[King Street Loon]

Yes.

 

I got a nice one there.

You renting?

 

TBH I dont think a lot of people put the same stock in a black suit and black tie at funerals. Any I've been to lately have just been in a normal suit.

I do have a nice non black suit, however, the lady who's funeral it is, was very much a traditionalist, and for that reason among others, a black suit n tie job it has to be.

[E-P-K]

I was not aware that they hired out suits ?

some places do, think the kilt place in the galaria also does hir.

 

You can pick up a suit these days for 50 quid though so nae really worth hiring.

 

I used to get a lot of my work ones from debenhams. Burton is nae bad either.

 

Slaters is good though for making sure it fits properly if you have a weird shape

Cheers,

 

 

A hire is not very practical for me getting the suit back to Aberdeen.

 

 

A purchase will suffice.

For a cheap suit, they aren't too bad.

 

Slaters is better though.

burned or buried or COMPOSTED?

 

 

In Seattle, a local non-profit group wants to become the world's first organization to offer as a service human composting, in which the departed are turned into nutrient-rich soil that can be used to grow flowers, trees or food.

Getting there might not be easy.

​The Urban Death Project is the brainchild of Seattle architect Katrina Spade, who came up with the concept in 2011. Spade calls composting a meaningful, sanitary and ecological alternative to burial and cremation.

The Urban Death Project's plans call for a three-storey-high polished concrete composting structure called "the core," which would be surrounded by contemplative spaces for visitors.

Bodies would be refrigerated on site for up to 10 days. No embalming would be necessary, since decomposition is the goal.

After a ceremony — religious or not — friends and family would help insert the body into the core. Over several weeks a body would turn into about one cubic yard of compost, enough to plant a tree or a patch of flowers.

The compost could be taken by the family or left for use or donation by the Urban Death Project.

"In this system, we transform from being human to being something else," Spade said. "And at the end, what's coming out, the material that we use — it's special and it's sacred, but it's not human."

Is that the age that they popped their clogs or the average age of all men in the country? Surely the former?

Raffle my corpse on a necrophiliac's website.

 

All proceeds go towards paying off some of the Dons' debt.

 

At least someone's trying to do something about it, Stewart.

 

What's your plans now that the debt has apparently been wiped?

[phoenix]

It was a stat in the book 'Emperor Of All Maladies' BEB and I took it to mean the average age for men to die back then in the USA. A lorra water under the brig since then.
