cost of funerals

Just wondering wheter I should start to save and buy a plot of ground to be buried in, and in my spare time construct a really good coffin, that I would be proud to be buried in, along with receipts from all the girls that I have visited.

That will obviously use up all my money and time,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and keep me on the straight and narrow.

Cost of funerals.


It's a killer!

It's a dead end.

Could spend the money on escorts......While you're still with us.

Probably more fun !

I intend to avoid funeral costs by staying alive for as long as possible.

When I do die, I am sure someone will pay to have me buried, if only to avoid having a rotting corpse about the place. :D


Seriously, the cost of funerals can be a problem with not only some undertakers but some religious organisations taking advantage of families at a vulnerable time.

€5000.00 average outside Dublin ,have no idea about Dublin prices

How much is a cremation?

Or can we build our own pyre in the back yard and have someone set fire to it..,

Backyard burning.......illegal I believe.

When you're dead you won't need to worry about cost funeral

A friend of mine had a job that included a burial plot in his pay package..

Thought they were retired from that business.:confused:

Not the sort of business you can retire from. Do it once and its for life.

That figure of 4,000 in meath for cost of a funeral does that include buying the plot for the grave as well or excluding it
I heard just to buy a plot in Dublin cost 3000 and that is just for plot coffin embalming papers all extra

In years to cum, there will be no burying , all cremation

Why do u think that is it because we will run out of graves or Iis cementation the fashion

Burials create Concrete jungle effect as well as plots being very expensive, cremation the way to go,

Was at a funeral in England and its so different from here, person was dead 5 weeks before being cremated and went straight to the church, no such thing as waked, the cremation itself was very business like, no personal touch and so very cold, and everything was timed as you had to move on as other people waiting their turn

Lol well said ketchup lol
years ago on Rte llive show they asked someone where they would like to be buried and there answer was
I would like to be buried up to my balls in bibi Baskin lol live TV

may aswell cut out the middle man (the worms and organic matter in the ground) and give MN a hand, cremation. a 100 year process reduced to 100 minutes...or something. its ashes to ashes dust to dust for a reason don cha know :scratchchin:

There are now also green cemeteries , if you are that way inclined.
Stick you in a hole in the ground, no fancy coffin, no headstones, no concrete footpaths and they plant a tree over you..
Ireland's relatively low population means cemetery space should not really be a problem.
But I vaguely remember hearing of other places in the world where you only get a set number of years with the grave and then the space is reused.

its rediculous really, the coffin should just be rented for the home viewing, and graveside and on the day just tip them out over the side and into the hole and fill it in while the relatives try to forget the noisy thud they just heard falling in to a hole. funerals need hilarity, and this is the way forward :dance:

I have heard of coffins with hinged bottoms somewhere.
Position over the grave and drop the body through.
The ultimate ( in both senses) in reusable terms.

most of the rural towns now have the following
three body's on top of each other so
first coffin is twelve feet down second one nine foot and the third six feet
so it racking and stacking
