    The fact a warning at the beginning is needed is mind blowing, when nothing remotely bad was shown, people in 2025 really cant handle real life anymore

    When my partner passed way earlier on this year, they let me go down and watch his coffin go into the actual furnace. Where we stood, you could feel the heat coming out and the heat was so intense it felt like being in a hot 🔥 oven.

      My condolences for your loss. I don't think many people are aware that you can witness the committal of the coffin to the cremator.

    I would love to be in the funeral industry, to do something like this. I think it’s such a privilege to be given such responsibility. But I’m a cryer, if someone is sad around me it sets me off in floods.

    What a lovely funeral this is a good thing to have the rest and your body to be cremated in a lovely crematorium with the minister conducted this service I was at 2 crematoriums for the cremations of 2 friends Richard McGeechan ❤

      When my Grandad died in 2016, he too was cremated. We had the main funeral service in the church that he and Granny attended, and then the committal at the crematorium.
      I sat in the front row next to Granny. At the end of the committal, we all stood up, and You'll Never Walk Alone was played (Grandad was a Liverpool supporter for most of his life). Granny was visibly upset, and I noticed that her hand shook quite a bit.
      And then the curtain closed, and Grandad was gone.
      When Granny died in 2024, she had a similar funeral. But the Skye Boat Song was played as her coffin was brought into the crematorium chapel, and then Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien by Édith Piaf was played as the curtain closed, and Granny was gone.

    This is what I want done, money becomes an irrelevance at your last breath and I want as much of mine going to my son rather than being wasted on flowers and limos' and hearses. It's perfect, dignified, cheaper and it's my final wish.

      You can choose not to. Much cheaper. In which case, they whip you out of the coffin, and you go in on your own.

      Cremations in the UK seem to be getting pretty cheap if you want just a basic, no frills one. Burials on the other hand are becoming very expensive. They are ripping people off. I am aged 60 at the moment and trying very hard to save for my funeral. It does become worrying at times, as there is only myself left. I have no brothers or sisters or any family left like that. People say to me don't worry about it, the state will pay for it, but I do worry. The last bit of pride that I have in me, I want to leave knowing I have paid for it. Just like the rest of my family before me did and also to my final wishes...🤔

      @@eddiek0507 I'm 62, I live alone, and most of my family are dead. My two surviving siblings ignored me all Christmas and New Year. I worry about being found dead, after rotting for months. It happens. It's sad that you're alone, and I completely understand that you want to make preparations for the inevitable. There's nothing wrong with having a little pride, and wanting dignity in death. Hopefully that won't be for many years yet? Take care.

      Your comment is not correct in the slightest. I pledge polish every single coffin that leaves my premises full funerals or not. At the crematorium when I convey the coffin into the chapel, I play Gabriels Oboe on my phone and I bow to the catalfalque in farewell. No deceased should ever be compromised due to the cost of the service.

    I find cremation very disrespectful, especially if you are religious. In most religions, you are told that hell is a place where people are punished by fire and dangerously high temperature levels. Isn’t that what cremation is, just burning people and giving the deceased a taste of hell?

      Its more hygenic and my mum was very religious but the thought of being buried in damp soil with all sorts crawling in her body made her go for cremation Also once you die your soul goes to heaven So there is only a shell left behind
