Coffin Making?

Interesting thread.

You have mentioned transporting the "coffin" in a van, a horsebox and a jeep.
This suggests that you haven't actually firmed up an arrangement with a willing driver.
You should allow for the fact that the chosen driver may predecease you or not have the necessary vehicle when you pass.
I recommend that you ensure that your "coffin" will fit in a standard hearse

Man with a van from adverts?
I like the idea of a plain wooden box, Id considered cremation but I think there has got to be a more environmentally friendly method, rotting in a hole in a plain wooden box surely has to be the simplest?
Id be a bit concerned about seepage and Id prefer not to use non biodegradeable material, and Id like to steer away from mdf.

I intensely dislike being gouged and it excused as being acceptable when its deemed unlikely it will be protested or the recipient of the bill is in a situation where its not the thing they are considering,
An explanation/excuse Id come across for expensive funeral costs is that many people dont end up paying the bill for their deceased relative.
IMO it's a similar excuse for motor insurance costs being so high, in that scenario that some sorts are making fake claims, rather than that it's the business itself actually gouging.
