I have enquired about this for my late husband and was shocked to find out how expensive it is. After paying for a funeral, a plot for ashes and the plaque and associated expenses i am starting to feel that death is a very 'dear deal' indeed. I understand that the writing in these books is done by an expert and is very beautiful but it all adds to the distress of the event when you feel you can not afford to do everything for your loved one. In the next town from me when my brother passed away his name and relevant dates were put into the book free of charge. It was only if you wished to expand on what was written i.e. a poem, personal message etc you paid for that. I have had so much to pay out for this pass months this is the final straw. I feel annoyed at the cost and upset because i am thinking can i really afford to pay for this knowing that possibly further down the line there won't be anyone going on the date to read the inscription. What would you do?
