IN addition my recent letter, regarding the cost of dying ‘what has happened to the ‘pauper’s funeral?’ Surely it wouldn’t be too difficult to conduct a budget ceremony: 1 A driver with a van and a tank of fuel 2 A cardboard casket 3 A lay-preacher to conduct a brief service and 4 The price of a firing at the crematorium.
This wouldn’t cost more than £2,500, would it?
