[Albion] Albion themed coffins

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

I'd like to do something like this:

Provided, of course, that science hasn't found the cause of eternal life or we can be downloaded into the matrix.

An Albion themed coffin isn't appealing.

I don't want Albion to go down.

 

[blue-shifted]

I want my age of death on my coffin. But, also, my life expectancy.

Just as a conversation starter for the stattos at my funeral.

So kind of like an XG versus actual goals thing?

The most likely outcome of being lowered into the ground in an Albion coffin is missing the hole...

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

As part of our product range we offer a bespoke football themed coffin for all clubs, comprising of photos of the clients favourite 8 players/managers on the panels, then pictures of the relevant stadiums on the coffin lid.

We've looked after an array of supporters over the years, including yesterday a supporter whose choices for his respective club were quite left field, given the long standing traditions at his club.

So NSCers who would be your 8 Albion coffin pic choices?

I will kick you off with mine,

Norman Gall
Steve Piper
Gordon Smith
Micky Adams
Glenn Murray
John Byrne
John Keeley
Kerry Mayo

Absolutely brilliant - top work

 

[Bry Nylon]

I want a VAR-themed funeral.

Just toward the end of the service, the words, "Checking - possibly NOT dead" come up on a big screen and the vicar stands with his finger in his ear. Then after a minute he makes a rectangular-shaped motion with his hands and points towards the church yard and the big screen says "Check complete. DEAD" and everybody cheers.

Or something like that.

To be fair, for those questioning 'waste of money' etc, for all Albion fans aside from the allowance/discount I make on each funeral I only charge an extra £200 on top of the traditional coffin.

 

[Wellesley]

Anyone that's getting into a coffin like that needs to get a life. I wouldn't be seen dead in one.

 

[Whitechapel]

I certainly won't be having any of the current Albion team on my coffin.

If there is an eight foot opening on the grass you can be guaranteed that they'll miss it.

Wouldn't mind having our current strikeforce as the pallbearers at my funeral.


Just so they can let me down one more time.

 

[WATFORD zero]

Given the average cost of a funeral is over £4k I'd say that was a waste of money.

It's up to the individual what they want to do with their money, but I am very much in agreement with you. A few well chosen words and then someone pushes the flush.

If it was good enough for the Kid's goldfish, then it's good enough for me

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Given the average cost of a funeral is over £4k I'd say that was a waste of money.

Indeed, it's all about what you can afford too, or more to the point what you want to afford.

 

[dazzer6666]

Luckily not had to think about the cost of this stuff before but the figures quoted above do seem costly and as some say a waste of money.

Genuine question - what happens if you just refuse to pay anything?

[Chicken Run]

I've already told the missus I want to be put in the ground at Clayton Wood at the natural burial ground. Not too expensive, and helps the local wildlife.
Cardboard coffin, slap bang in the middle of the countryside I've adored exploring since childhood, & right under the shadow of the Jack & Jill windmills. Perfect.

My fathers ashes are interned there with a tree planted at the time over the cardboard urn, lovely place, my mum has requested to join dad and I too have put this place in my will.

For extra fun/brief resurrection get Lee Mason to do the honors.

Do they play Ring of Fire as it goes in the furnace?

Scarf-twirling optional.

You got it.

Any preference on formation? I'm going 3 at the back and 2 up front
