- GJim 7mo agoEh? Common knowledge in Blighty where the majority of funerals are cremations. I'm puzzled why you appear to have a problem with this process?
- djmips 7mo agoI don't have a problem with the process. Is it common knowledge there? Maybe try aksing people what ashes are. I know it can be a touchy subject but I was pretty old when I found out in America.
