September is such a relief after France's hectic summer
The holidays and social engagements give way to peace and quiet
Laid to rest on the cheap
How about an article on the funeral options in France?
I am in the process of trying to persuade the CHU Caen to accept my body for the benefit of trainee doctors... the deal includes a free barbecue!
In Great Britain there is a system of totally basic body disposal, no “mourners” and it costs very little. Perhaps The Connexion could research cheap body disposal options
in France?
I realise people have to make a living, but taking a body in a cheap body bag to the local crematorium in a basic van should not cost more than a maximum of €1,000... (allowing for 100% profit!)
Just in passing, I do not understand why French people are so disparaging about civil servants. I can only think of one occasion in 28 years when I have received other than excellent, ‘sympa’ service. Thank you, France, for having me.
