Customised coffins: The narrowboat coffin

Now as you know I rarely mix business with pleasure Farcebook with the blog, but this particular “business” is an exception to the rule. It got a bit out of hilarious handles hands, (on a shared basis) when I posted this, and it’s just too good to miss – and it rhymes…

So I opened the lid with:

“About these customised coffins, here's the narrowboat version, {link above}. Notice how the wife tries hard to conceal her excitement about her husbands birthday present. And I wonder if at the end, (excuse pun) he's inside the coffin heading into the sunset, or it fell off the boat while they were discussing reverse layout...”

Then, on a personal basis:

“Broken news: In our case it would have to be a widebeam, if one of us pops their clogs before the other, then only half a widebeam would be required till the other one pops their clogs. Then the 2 halves could be welded together. However, If we both go at the same time there'd be no need for any extra welding or faffing about.” 

Or come to think of it COST, I mean one of us could end up in half a widebeam & the other in a wicker basket…

Just as an aside to ponder on, (we’re off Farcebook now), when we lived in bricks n’ mortar there was a “traditional” kind of coffin maker business in the same town. Since then, I kid ye not, they’ve gone under. Perhaps it’s because it’s too expensive to snuff it these days…

And on a final note I’ve just got to share this blog post from Mike the Meercat on nb Rose of Arden…   

Just a thought, even them containers could be scaled down prototypes for beer bottle coffins…
