The Coffin

[Marc]

There is a good mate of mine who owns a funeral place in Wallsend, I’ve done quite a few jobs with him over the last couple of years as a pallbearer helping him out when he’s busy. We’ve done meadow burials, jazz funerals, and biker’s funerals allsorts really. People’s attitudes seem to be really changing towards death and funeral arrangements
He is going down the road of what the family wants (just about anything goes) rather than the traditional route of being told what to have by the funeral director.
He does do the traditional stuff as well though but seems to be doing a lot more alternative (in a nice way) funerals as peoples attitudes change,

Aye Alan, sound like the same place, Great lad Billy, got loads of time for him, realy nice bloke.

Got a cracking photo of him on the back of a motorcycle hearse holding his top hat on looking a little worried, I\'m not sure if it\'s on this machine or the one at work, if I can find it I\'ll post it.

Where did you work with him, I think I\'m over there tomorrow I\'ll mention you.

Isn\'t it just, Johnny\'s another great lad. You must have met Carl?

If you speak with Johnny, tell him I\'m Marc from the sandwich shop (Lisa\'s better half)

only met carl in passing during the summer when a few of us were out on a bike ride up mitford way, popped in to see johnny and carl was just leaving.
i will pass on message when i see him next but not getting out to pub as much with work and fishing, i have lost my appetite for drinking at the moment and the pub is normally the place i see him .



cheers
