A very close friend of mine is getting cremated at the weekend. To add to my grief I have one major dilemma. I need to get rid of a wrench. If I put it in the casket along with my dear friend, will it be completely destroyed by fire or when the ashes are gathered up and placed into vase will the wrench we there for all to see? Just wondering. And if anyone has any better ideas can they let me know. Time is running out. Thanks.
When my mother was cremated, the undertakers recovered her metal artificial hip joint and sent it away for recycling, it was like the organ donor scheme, a bit of a wrench for all concerned.
I personally believe that they save the caskets and do not incinerate them so the wrench would be found. By way of interest why?? Best to bung it in a deep lake.
I wouldn't put it in the coffin if I was you . You never know , they might open the coffin before the cremation for some obscure reason. Then you'd feel a right platt er pratt.
Hmmm... In real life you aren't perhaps, a Butler, are you? Keep in mind that fingerprints can survive extreme heat... (BTW, at least in the U.S., the caskets are required to beburned with the cremation process, hence the general use of inexpensive containers)...
