Death List 2026

Mum's ashes Filey beach. Dad's ashes Whitby beach. I like to think some bits met each other somewhere in the North Sea and had a blazing row.

Cooley

I’m lucky. I still have both. Dad’s 77, Mum 76. I dread the day when they go. Somehow, you all seem to cope.

My Mum is up Catherine Slack. My Dad at Spring Hall both a special place for one of them.

I posted something about my daughter scattering her Grandad's ashes on his chosen spot whilst a dad n lad were playing football in the goalmouth.

Just after my Dad died my sisters were argueing over where to scatter him. In a flash of adulthood I told them to leave him where he was. The time and place would choose itself when we were all ready for it. 6 years on and I think we've reached an unspoken accord that we'll wait until my Mum goes and scatter them together.

With my dad we couldn’t decide where to spread his ashes. In the end we decided on where the sailing club used to be, one of the Longendale reservoirs. It was only when we were halfway through when we realised we were scattering his mortal remains into the drinking water supply for Manchester.

I’m sure it gets filtered.

Me old fella got sprinkled across the finishing line at Haydock (i nearly got nicked by the stewards whilst doing it) he'll be in his element , me mums still in the pot at my stepdads in Shevington .

My dads buried in Wrexham cemetery. Which is nice to visit and put flowers on the grave . Taken my girls and the grandchildren with me on times as he did with me to my nan and grandads grave . Burial I've always said , not for me . But there is something about being able to to visit a place of rest with a headstone. On what would if been his 100th birthday last year we all went layed flowers .
My mum didn't want a burial, evan though there was room in the plot , don't know what that says about their marriage. She is scattered buy a tree , between a house she was brought up in and the sea in Criccieth. Lovely spot , took us about 8 years to get her there . Usually get there every year and on the 10th anniversary of her passing we were all in the area and able to go and was very touched when the little ones were laying flowers , though they didn't really understand.
Step daughters husband, was that touched, he had a friend do a painting of the tree and gave it me for my 60th , unbeatable present

heyho

white_dragon It was my folks wishes to be cremated. I didnt want that. Would have preferred something 'material' i.e. a grave to be able to go see them

white_dragon A bit of my dog Smudge is scattered at Criccieth - on the beach in front of Dylan's, to the left as if you were looking out from Dylan's front door. He's also at the beach next to Pwllheli Sailing Club and also at the beach next to the Tavern on the Bay in Anglesey (Red Wharf Bay). Plus some in the garden underneath a small stone with his name on.

I went camping with the school for 2 weeks in Criccieth in 1980. I was 15 at the time. It taught me to appreciate two things in life
A nice cooked meal
A comfortable bed.

Dads ashes are buried at Kilingbeck. One of the few things I ever seen to have got right for my mum was to say bury them. At the time I had a notion to scatter them at Coniston or Windermere, places we’d kayaked and had a good time, or Rothwell car auctions, or Babingtons Scrap
Yard, places he liked. She’s a big Catholic and having somewhere to visit means a lot to her. It doesn’t really mean anything to me. He’s been dead 30 odd years now. I hate to think how hard it would’ve been for her not having somewhere to tend or visit or leave flowers for all that time, even if she has had her car broken into multiple times while doing so.
My niece is up there too. I can’t get my head around all the teddy bears and shite people take to kids graves. Looks a fucking mess but then who am I to judge someone who’s lost their kid? There’s little dignity in it.
Put me out for the birds to pick my bones clean. I have one kid who would probably do this for me.
Told my wife whatever she wants if I go first is fine. Been a few times she’s been in hospital and talking about this stuff has been necessary. Her brother would support whatever I wanted to do. If anything happened while her parents were still alive I’d ship her back to be buried in Ireland, for them more than anything. Keep the peace.

CBIT, I am impressed. Respect.

Harvest

Jon Dignity's a good word there. Simple grave, name and years. Look at how simple and touching military graves are. In the cemetery I was in the other day there was a grave the size of a double bed, all pink stone, emblazoned with Mickey Mouse designs and Disney quotes, balloons, teddies etc. Opposite was an enormous Leeds Rhinos one with scarves and a model Rhino and all that shit. It was like being on Blackpool front. Imagine getting parked near those two for ever. Not that you'd know much about it.

Harvest

I didn't know he was called Trevor Peacock until just now - apparently he's Danny's dad which I also didn't realise. You can see the resemblance a mile off. As you were.

heyho

Harvest apparently he’s Danny’s dad

Didn't know that

Reggie_Perrin

He’s also Ray “Bloody” Purchase’s dad.
