]]> Hi all

I am in my late 30s and two weeks ago lost my dear father. He did not have any wishes for his funeral so it has fallen on me to decide things.

I have opted for a traditional burial in a cemetery, no embalming (too disturbing a process).

I would also like a coffin or casket that best preserves his body in the coming years – I know some find it strange, but it is important to me.

I have read good and bad things about caskets with an airtight seal. Also there is a zinc-lined coffin, however I understand they might be more for transportation than long-term preservation.

FYI the cemetery buries the casket/coffin straight into the soil, six feet under (no concrete vault or lining).

Can you anyone give me some advice?

Many Thanks

]]> Hi, is it normal for Funeral Homes to charge extra to have the full Date of Birth / Date of Death on the niche plaques?

I am told there is no charge if only the year of birth & death are stated (eg. 1940 – 1980), but that having the complete DOB/DOD is custom and costs extra (eg. Jan 1st, 1940 to Dec 31st, 1980).

Thank you.
