Haley's funeral

Yes, but it's not the one that starts "Do not stand at my grave and weep"

MamaCaz, at the end of all 'work done' by the students, the funeral of a donated body is carried out and paid for by the university concerned. If a person has wished for burial, then that can possibly be arranged by another uni if the particular one isn't able to arrange this. Otherwise, a cremation will be carried out. Once a year, a memorial service is carried out at the university for all those who have donated their bodies.

I have reached the point where I no longer want to watch Coronation Street. The intrusive behaviour of Fizz and Carla towards Roy irritated me and I wanted to shout "for God's sake leave the poor man alone".

It does not appear to be simple to donate one's body to medical science. They appear to want the hale and hearty as the obese, demented and those with more than moderate oedema + others need not apply.

Not sure I agree Charleygirl. In fact our friend, who had a triple bypass, had donation suggested to him by his consultant, who was, our friend thought, anxious to show off his handiwork. Unfortunately friend never really recovered from the operation. His wife, who had been nursing and encouraging him, died suddenly from a brain tumour and he followed a few months later. His body did go for research, not to Glasgow University who were apparently full up but, by agreement with the family, to Dundee. There was a service of remembrance followed by a 'funeral tea'.

I've decided to live forever. Sorted.

No rockgran that is not on my agenda but I have not got a date and time just yet.
