Buried without coffin

Antar Bolaeisk

I want to be chucked on a great big pyre, none of this silly box lark.

This originates from a request from the Muslim community. Take a trip to the Middle East and try asking where the nearest Sunday mass is .

No Mass.... savages!

lol...
Plenty of Catholic Saints were buried without coffins. It's not just a Muslim thing.

That's essentially what Muslims do, and usually on the same or next day.

Traditions vary.

And besides you can buy cardboard coffins so they really shouldn't be too expensive, unless someone is gouging grievers.

I know but I can't see Irish people doing that tbh.

I think those cardboard ones are more expensive or same price.

I'm gonna need my coffin as I intend to be buried with a bottle of whiskey, my MP3 player and a fully loaded handgun.

Cremation all the way for me. At least that way, I won't come back as a zombie.

I already pretend you're my girlfriend.

Same here. And being thrown into the big oven without a coffin saves energy as well, I assume

I think his could be a good idea actually. I used to hang out in a funeral home a few years back because my friends family were in the business and remember he had a leaking coffin at one stage. I forget the reasons behind I am but the stench was something else. I think they've had a few occasions of similar situations.
I can't imagine it was too nice for the family.

I wouldn't mind to be part of this

It would cost alot more than a coffin I think to be done up like this but my family could charge a hefty admission fee to see me.

how many "bags for life" do you think it would take to cover me?

at the very least it will mean his new shiny pencil is made out of me and not some random coffin ashes....

But I had my eye on a really nice figure-hugging coffin

Afaik the coffin isn't burned with the body, the person is removed from the coffin and is usually wrapped in plastic before being placed in a cardboard container.

Not true. You cannot open a coffin as soon as the undertaker closes it. The coffin is burned as is

IF this ever happened, Im hoping never , Id want to be preserved and displayed above ground if at all possable, so that suits me just fine

Bury me in a tesco plastic bag, or else a massive condom.

Sky burial on top of carrauntoohill for me.

When I go I want to donate my carcass to science so there won't be enough left of me for a coffin anyway.

Just hope I don't end up in a Tesco lasagne...

If he wasnt killed then hes being a jolly good sport by playing along with it.

Or captured and being held in a hole somewhere. (But I reckon he was killed)

Know it's too close in for a sea burial, so want my ashes here

ITS_A_BADGER

I think i want to be cremated and have my ashes put in a hole and planted with a sapling, like my ashes would give the tree nutrients and absorb me and some part of me would be in that tree

belcampprisoner

a coffiin would stop you escaping if your still alive when they bury you


they don't really need a suit or good clothes

just a sheet would do

I hope so too. Those lasagnes get awful tempting when payday is still a ways off.

That's it so,

I've decided.

I'm not dying so yis can all feck off :mad:

Cavehill Red

I'd like my ashes mixed with 15 tonnes of liquid slurry, carried by helicopter to this location and then released into a strong wind around mid-afternoon any Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday in winter:

I was to be buried without a coffin, wrapped in seaweed, to aid biodegradability.

And then what happened?

Never got the fascination about funerals, when my time comes just toss me into a hole and don't bother with any kind of ceremony

This is turning into a post mortem dick swagger

it's likely you wont end up in a tesco finest lasange... more likely a tesco value lasange

they keep horse meat for the tesco finest lasange

JustAThought

I suppose "they" could invent a human size flip lid kinder surprise kinda "new" coffin. Made from recycled yoghurt pots or something & biodegradable. Along with you! I'd buy that - in purple or funky discoball style! Way to go. Fuzzy felt "flavour" anyone?

antodeco

I want to be buried in a giant airtight Tupperware container. Seal in that freshness!

Heard on Newstalk this morning that from next month it will be legal to be buried in Ireland without a coffin.
Definately a way to cut down on funeral expenses. Who needs a coffin anyway.
Next we should do away with the hearse and be allowed to arrive in a trailer or boot of the car.

!!

thanks that gave me a good chuckle!!

How come the Irish always have to bend over backwards to please other nationalities and their beliefs? I'm pretty sure if we pushed them to change their laws we'd be told where to go or even loose our heads in the process.

Changing an out of date law is hardly bending over backwards.

It's not just this, there are lots of cases where we're expected to change our ways to suit other nationalities, i'm just saying that they wouldn't be as accommodating as they expect us to be.
