    All I know is that it takes ages for anyone to see the will after someone dies, may be I'm wrong but from what I've seen, it does take a long time. But yea i guess the solicitor would know what was in it, but would he check it in time? I mean it depends on size of place etc, solicitor might not even know that he's dead and family might not actually consult him until the funeral was over. I don't know.

    Cremation for me...no way do I want my body buried in the ground for some scumbag to piss on my grave, future generations to dig it up, use it for medical science etc etc.

    Cremate me an throw my ashes over the cliff of Moher.
    It's weird though..if I had to pick the worse way to go it would be burning to death. :confused:

    that's the concern. It could be a month before the solicitor is informed he died. They would only inform the solicitor when they want his money

    Ok so if your friend explains the situation to his funeral director telling the funeral director that the solicitor has to be informed immediately of his wishes.
    Or is it possible that the funeral director could sign a legal agreement that will ensure your friends wishes will be carried out?

    This is for Legal Discussions I think. Way too many second guessing & very little humour, even for after hours!

    Poltergeism.


    Is that a real word?

    Saw a horror short once where everyone thought this fella was dead but he was just in a catatonic state. He couldn't move or talk but was aware of what was going on around him. They cremated him. Poor sod.

    No way I'll be cremated. I remember the footage of soldiers describing the smells in the camps at the conclusion of WWII. I'd rather rot. The embalming process and chemical treatment makes the decomposition process much less morbid. No maggies. Besides strangely it never bothered me that much. I've always thought skeletons were cool.

    I'd rather that than the alternative, ie. being buried alive.

    Would you be so resolute about that after they'd started the incinerators?

    There's this option!

    You don't see too many of them yokes around the country to be honest.

    I think I would be resolute knowing that a few minutes of agonising pain would save me from days (Oxygen levels permitting) of starvation and madness.

    Put it in the will that they everything you own goes to the local cat's home if they don't do it. Watch them change their mind then.

    I think I've spent too much time on the Internet. I read that as lolcats home. :(

    My dad might actually be doing that to stop us fighting over who gets the house when he pops his clogs. Wouldn't put it past the crazy bastard either
