Gone too soon: Zane Smythe, pictured just two weeks before his death

An angel....very sad:(

[JRandomFreeper]

Why cleaning up folks, and laying them out, and mourning and prayers for them, and carrying them to their place ever became a business is beyond me.

It's a family and community thing.

And in some places, it still is.

But business is business, and if you have 5 guys standing around for 10 minutes, it's a charge. Better to do your grieving at home, and not turn over your baby to a business that charges by the minute.

It’s England. What do you expect?

Do they have funerals at crematoriums in England? Or was this funeral home equipped with a crematory? Even so, why would extra charges be needed?

Heartless!!!!!!!!

Almost every UK post is about government over-reaching or about some kind of "council" where petty tyrants have free reign to act out all their domination fetishes. By comparison, our Home Owners Association atrocity stories are pretty tame, and few and far in between.

Is UK's present our future?

Cruel and heartless.

[KoRn]

Bastards!

"Look, the gubermint board has set a standard for grieving time and we can't have every Tom, Dick, and Mary increasing our costs. We've got a schedule to meet."

_{need I say "sarc?"}

Prayers up for Zane's loved ones and may he Rest In Peace.

She's lucky - they could have charged her a cleaning fee for mopping up her tears.
