Indeed.
To this add a G.P. surgery who don't know how to complete a death certificate. I would have thought it was fairly basic stuff, but the registrar had to send it back to be done again, as the doctor had put her home address on it, as well as other errors.
Can I also add 'The Cost of Everything for a Funeral'? Fuck me, they've kinda got you over a barrel. The little photo montage they have on screen during the moment of silent contemplation? £75 to you! And they call us bankers grasping bastards!
Luckily common sense is prevailing and the funeral for Mrs. G's mum is as basic as basic could get and instead of doves (£125 for the first one, £25 each thereafter) and metal plaques in the memorial garden (£250 + on going fee, paid annually) we've booked a nice pub and are putting a wedge behind the bar for people to enjoy themselves and remember the old girl fondly.
