I would but I've corpsed from reading the others...Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

"When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die! You don't know who's children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken. How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they were always going to have to do from the very beginning: SIT DOWN AND TALK!"
I was going to make a quip about the dog digging down 6ft to find the body, but it appears there's no legal minimum depth for a burial.
There's a lot of detailed requirements for a burial at sea, however:
Quote:
The coffin you use must be made of solid softwood and must not contain any plastic, lead, copper or zinc. It must have:
between 40 and 50 50mm (2 inch) holes drilled throughout
corners butt-jointed and strengthened with mild steel right angle brackets screwed internally, or substantial wooden bracing struts 50 x 38mm
about 200kg of iron, steel or concrete clamped to the base of the coffin with brackets of 10mm mild steel bar, or blocks of weak concrete mix
weight distributed evenly to prevent the coffin from turning to the vertical
2 long mild steel bands running from the top to the bottom of the coffin
several mild steel bands across the coffin at about 30cm intervals along its length
The coffin and any inner box or liner must be made from natural, non-toxic and biodegradable materials. They must both be able to withstand any impact and be able to carry the body quickly to the seabed.
Isn't the internet marvellous?
That's serious overkill (pun intended ) … round these parts a rolled-up carpet and a few bricks is the norm. Or is it that the rules for "burial in a canal" differ from the "at sea" ones ?

I assumed bucket in concrete was the norm, oh hang on that’s the mafia
Sir, there are large number of tasteless jokes in this thread. They need burying (I think it's a plot). There are graver issues, such as people with Covid - how someone badly coffin handles such jokes is beyond me. All respect seems to have gone up in smoke. I mean, even funeral directors let down the deceased (but I suppose they have to urn a living) and, the costs these days, they must make a killing. The poor man mentioned in the original post lost his wife earlier in the year: his death was shortly after hearse. Even funeral homes don't have the respect they used to. One was recently found to be raffling cadavers to medical schools - although Police said it was a dead giveaway.
Yours faithfully,

Great minds think alike but suppose to make a good situation from a bad one, you could always use it for stock for soup
Or is that too near the bone
If I'm correct.... the rule is....All bodies are found 'by a person walking their dog'...
As a Dog walker .. the probability is I will find several... 1 TR6 Rusting away quietly

If I were a dog walker, I would never ever find any. I can see there being a lot of paperwork involved if you found one. "oh, it was a PERSON ? I thought it was a dead badger or something. "

I was involved with a new bit of drainage in a church. When the trenches were dug, an archaeologist had to be present and any bones found were bagged up. I asked what was to happen to them and the answer was that they'd be boxed up and put in a fresh hole together. The remainder of any bodies were left where they were for historic reasons (in case the place was excavated in the distant future, I guess). Seems that so long as they were put back in to sanctified ground then it was all good.
My own view is that as cemeteries are actually for the living, any bodies that were buried earlier than living memory should just be dumped in whatever hole is available. Seems the church authorities had the same idea.Visiting from rrsport.co.uk
