You have to look at the acquisition of a granite surface place as long term investment.
And when you die you can have it engraved and use it as your tombstone. A cast iron one will rust away.
How about that for dual-function.

I love the logic here!

So as I am 6' 3" and 100 kg as my auls mum used to say, "if you're going to have one have a big one"

I'd best order a Big One!

On the same vane of thought:

Anyone have an e-bay link for "shrouds with pockets"

Best to check the local regulations.  My mother is buried in the churchyard in a Dorset village.  There were definite regulations regarding gravestones, marble and granite were not permitted.  I was offered the choice between Portland stone or Purbeck stone - as the latter had recently doubled in price because planning regulations prevented quarries from increasing in extent, Mum lies beneath a Portland stone marker.

I'll be kept in the freezer till November 3, then done on the bonfire on the 5th, granite surface left on embers the following day, sorted....

A load of ally and iron swarf and whats left of the lathe oil should get the temperature up.  Bonus being it will have that authentic workshop smell as it all burns, and they can play doubleboost out takes   :thumbup:

If anyone would see My tombstone the "cheap" part would be expected without needing it carved in. Anything else and they would think it is someone else. :beer:
