Sadist thing I have ever made

Oh such cheek ,

So we delivered my mateys coffin the other day and I just had to ask how many other people have made a coffin for their mate and in 10yrs we are only the second  people to do it ,well in the undertakers where my mate is .

A locally well known miller near me died a few years back (and happily his son's continuing the business).

He was a bit of a Land Rover buff - otherwise he was OK ? - and was buried in a coffin his son and friends made from his own stock with a sticker on it 'Don't follow me - you won't make it'!

Its a good idea Mark, cos coffins are ludicrously expensive, not to mention the personal touch.

Guy I know who passed the other year had a coffin made up from wood he had milled himself over the years. He even tried it out for size before he passed away

My mother passed away this time last year and I made the casket for her ashes, I used London Plane.

 

I'd made the casket for my father's ashes 17yrs before so it only seemed fair I should make my mother's as well.
