Did it for me gran. Shitting myself at the time, will it be heavy..it weren`t she were never a big un but by 96 there was bugger all left of her, She`d gone for a woollen coffin one of these
Logon or register to see this image

so it was fairly light. I was worrying about it being flimsy but it wasnt, I was worrying about tripping or dropping the old girl but none of it happened. It`s more looking backing at it when you realise its a good thing to do for someone. The actual day itself goes in a blur of rush and worry

It's a lady in waiting. Basically just a posh mate who's there to do stuff for you like hand you a hankie, ring the bell for tea, that sort of thing. Wish I had one, would be very useful

It's ridiculous one of the first things that should have been relaxed was funerals, looks even worse when most of the 30 will have been vaccinated. Drove past a few beer gardens today and tonight, was loads sat next to each other stood up talking face to face. ( I don't have an issue with that just comparing it to a few dozen people in a huge church, wearing masks and mostly vaccinated)
