Coffin makers.............

[loulou]

Have you ever wondered why there is loads of funeral directors on every street but you never see a coffin maker.

[oldspice]

I think they are like wholesalers who make them for undertakers so they make them in factories or workshops like.

I have never seen 'Coffins R Us' or 'Coffins to go' or 'Coffinland' or 'World of Coffins' or Kwik Koffins'.

[phyllisbermann]

Nor have I.  Maybe they make their own.

[kevvosa]

Make their own street?

[phyllisbermann]

Their own coffins.

[smurfboy]

Like Spicy says, you don't see them because generally members of the public don't pop out to buy a coffin.

My dad is a joiner and he wants to make his own coffin. The only reason he hasn't done already is because he doesn't have space in his garage to store it!

[phyllisbermann]

What about card board coffins?  More eco friendly.

[Cherry_Ripe]

There are very strict guidelines about coffins particularly if you are to be cremated.

You never been to Sunderland? There's one now called 'Go as you please'.

[phyllisbermann]

Did you see about the Hindu funeral pyres in Leicestershire on the news yesterday?

[loulou]

No. Do tell.

[kevvosa]

You never been to Sunderland?

That's cos I've heard so many horror stories about it.
