    Also, tell the guy that digs the hole how big the coffin is including handles.

    Because I went to a funeral last year where it didn’t fit.

        We all went back inside for the food and mingling part, while they adjusted the metal bit at the top.

        Eventually they came back and said it’d take longer than that as the sides of the hole would have to be altered so most of us left.

        I swear we were there for about four hours in total. I don’t know if they’re all like that over there, but most UK funerals are like “welcome, hymn, eulogy, hymn, funny story, oven, drinks, home”. I find open caskets weird as well.
