If you read this quote:-
"If a family wishes to cremate their loved one in anything other than a shroud, the funeral director should contact bereavement services so this can be discussed to clarify what type of garments the family wish to use."
You might be forgiven for thinking that it applies to some communist dictatorship and is not something you need be concerned by.
In fact, the quote comes from Kirklees council who claim to be concerned about emissions from the cremation of the deceased, thus, if you wish to see your father or son cremated wearing his favourite football strip or your child taking her favourite teddybear on their last journey you are likely to be 'refused permission'.
How dare these jumped up little Hitlers interfere in our most personal and private matters in this way, how much pollution do they really think clothes or a soft toy are going to create especially when compared to thematerials used to make the coffin in the first place. This is gross intrusion to deal with a tiny problem with emissions, how sad that our council employees are taking this opportunity to bully families at their most vulnerable.
