When I first started on the council, the department was Parks, Gardens and Cemeteries. So we all had to take our turns in digging the graves. When the council got a JCB I was the one that had done the training so for a few years it was all down to me to bury most of the Islands residents as they passed on.

Naturally if you took it all seriously you would be the most miserable sod alive, so pranks and jokes were everyday occurences to us.

I was filling in a grave that  was the last resting place for a nun and whacking down the last bit of soil with the digger bucket, I shouted to my mate 'I bet  that's the first time the earth has moved for her'.  He nodded to me to look behind. There were the rest of the convent waiting to lay flowers.

Nearly lost my job, but spent a lot more time in the gardens after that.

My funeral?

I don't want one. Just put me in a wicker basket  for decency's sake,  burn me, and dross me out over Wheeldale!

Maybe my family want some commemoration, so let them decide about that. I'll brew 4 gallons of Pale Ale they can sup!

i want to be buried in a cardboard coffin http://www.creativecoffins.com/index.html
i want going underground by the jam and The RIde of the Valkyries" from Die Walkure
i want my family to smile and joke and celebrate my life, not mourn my death.
this is only part of our journey and i will catch up with them in the next part.
