A few years ago, I started thinking about my own, organising it, and deciding what I would wear, the music I would find appropriate. Den Giddens, doesn t visualise his final send off as a gothic funeral. He wants his send off to be cheap and cheerful so he asked his friend Ken to make him a DIY coffin. The two of them ordered the wood from a local timber yard. He claims he never feels scared or spooked by the coffin in the corner.
Cremation is absolutely out.
No-one s cremating me. If a friend of mine dies, I want to see them before their coffin is closed - I want to say goodbye. Eileen is Irish and is amazed that in England, children are not involved in death.
