So she still contacts the undertaker she intends to use to get proceedings started, they won't do a thing without a death certificate,,, now I don't know how it works in England but when my dad died up in Scotland I got a piece of paper from the hospital then still had to go to Register House to register the death and get the death certificate, so expect that's what Annie will be doing Friday...
What a faf around, old guy was 82, had been in and out of hospital for months before his death, the hospital assist in the process by switching off the oxygen,,, no suspicious circumstances, so why not at time of death issue the paperwork to allow the funeral planning to proceed, but no it's got to be dragged out for another week...
So meeting today with funeral director, still no date for funeral , couldent get hold of the preacher, to phone back Monday, I'm sure these feckers work Sunday despite God saying it was a day of rest...
Shes 22 years older than me and I'm catching up fast. Sobering thought. Pass the sherry and vodka dear...........
