Thanks for all the kind comments lads, bit of a strange one this now though, he has left his body to science, none of the family knew till last week & even the people at the hospice dont know how to deal with it as they aint come across it before, apparently , Newcastle uni will collect his body on monday & take it up there, do whatever with it for a while then ask if you want what's left back, if not they just burn it , so no funeral /gravestones/wall plaques in the crem etc, its what he wanted i suppose, had the card for 20yrs + but never told anyone

The old boy saved you some money there bud, fair play

They'll accept it due to his cancer Ven. It's a great way of going out knowing your going to help people in the future. My respects go to your old man mate. May he fly high.

It's not all about money FFS. Do you ever think about anything else other than money? He might have arranged his body to be donated to science when he first got diagnosed with cancer. You can't just say I want to donate, you've got to be accepted by the department who's accepting his body.

Show some respect FFS.

It still doesn't escape the fact that you bought the issue of money up regarding someone's death. When someone dies money is the furthest thing away from "some people's" minds.
