chapter 43kAlex, he’s gone. I can’t believe he’s gone.Oh Rosie, I’m so sorry for you.I’ll book a flight today and I’ll be in Ireland at the weekend.Dear Alex,Coffin sizes can be no wider than 76cm; can be made of chipboard withapproved veneers and plastics for cremation purposes. Did you know that?Ferrous screws are acceptable in small numbers and wood braces will giveextra strength but must only be placed in the inside of the coffin.The coffin must have the full name of the deceased on the lid. Wouldn’twant to get anyone mixed up I suppose. The thing that I really wished Ihadn’t learned was that the coffin should be lined with a substance known as“Cremfilm,” or use absorbent cloth or cotton padding because apparentlyfluid can leak from a body.I didn’t know any of this.There were forms. Lots and lots of forms. Form A, B, C, F, and all themedical forms. No one mentioned anything about D and E. I didn’t knowyou needed so much proof to show you were dead, I thought the fact you’vestopped living and breathing was a huge giveaway. Apparently not.
