I finally tried on my funeral kit. It's around seven years since I last needed it. I was apprehensive about my waist size not being the same. I tried on the shirt first and got my hands through the still buttoned shirt sleeves without too much fuss. Then I pulled my funeral trousers up and with a sharp intake of breath did the button up. With my shirt tails tucked in I resembled a pub landlord with his round protruding beer belly. I breathed out and although the button stayed fastened, it was only a matter of time before something gave up the fight. I didn't think it appropriate to risk my trousers falling down whilst at a wake. Luck was with me though as in the same hidden corner of my drawers were my wedding trousers from four years ago. The trousers still fit, just. I fear if I keep going to the co-op and eating four chocolate bars for a quid in one day I will need a new funeral kit next time.
The tie will outlast me, maybe I will wear it when I'm dead.
Does anyone get cremated in jeans and a tee shirt? Or do you have to buy a suit to be dead into. 
If I am cremated and I go enter the 'big sleep' for eternity, I think I'll opt for my pyjamas.
