my brother in laws father died 2 weeks ago from cancer,,,,, now heres a list of the prices for a "cheap" funeral

we had to get 2 doctors to sign the death certificate,,,,, 65 quid each,,,,, plus 15 quid for the certificate !!!!,,,,,,, and he died in hospital and the doctors didnt even confirm him as actually dead

the cheep coffin cost 700 quid,,,,,, that was burned !!!!

we was charged for the drive from the hospital to the directors, then to somewhere else, then to the crematoriam

the bill for the funeral arragements came to just under 3k and the total bill just under 4k

what a fucking rip off considering,,,,,, well what actually happens overall

also i was told you cant arrange to sort something seperate and it has to go though a funeral directors as tbh id like to arrange my own funeral so my family dont do the wrong thing and waste money on getting pointless shite in memory of my honor,,,,,, infact id rather they just left me in the hospital and refused to pay for the death certificates and see what happens

its a morbid post i know but ive been to alot of funerals lately and never asked about the costs,,,,, but now it seems theres alot of " lets see what we can get away with" charges

doctors are paied by the NHS,,,,, which we pay into for our treatments over our lives and some of us dont get the full benifits as we aint that ill,,,,,, why cant the signatures be free as when you are born you dont pay to register the birth ????
