...The average cost of a simple burial in 2000 was £2048 and is now £3307, up 61%. Likewise an average cremation was £1215 in 2000, it now costs £1954.00 also an increase of 61%...

...Under UK law - provided drains and mains services are not affected and commercial gain is not made - a body can be buried more or less anywhere.
Carboard coffins can cost as little as £55. What's more, the services of undertakers are not mandatory. Families can decide to pick up their loved one in their own vehicle and inter them in their own way - with or without ceremony or religion.
While few mourners opt for a totally DIY funeral - collecting their dearly deceased from the morgue and digging the grave themselves in their own back yard - increasing numbers are choosing the cheaper and more environmentally-friendly alternatives to traditional farewells...

:D :D :D

In some crowded areas the idea burying in the upright position as been considered as space saving.

tim, they do that already.

my late granny was burried in the same grave as my late grandad.

i knew some one who did a spot of grave digging, he said its quite common husband and wife in same grave, they just dig down till they hit anything solid ish, once one coffin was so rotten, he fell in
 
yes quite right breezer in the horizontal plane but bernard was talking vertically upright and i was suggesting top to toe ;)

Um, er...excuse me, um, are you... are you suggesting we should
eat my mother?
(pause)
Yeah. Not raw, not raw. We cook her. She'd be delicious with a few
french fries, a bit of stuffing. Delicious! (smacks his lips)

What! (he stammers)
(pause)
Actually, I do feel a bit peckish - No! NO, I can't!
Look, we'll eat your mum. Then, if you feel a bit guilty about it
afterwards, we can dig a grave and you can throw up into it.

All right.
