Do you want to be buried/cremated with a Bra on

[deadtitties]

I for one rarely wear one as they are so darn uncomfortable and I never gave the undertaker one for my mum but I never realised this was such a bone of contention, excuse the pun.

Are you a with or without or simply don’t care?

My daughter says she will haunt anyone who puts her eternally in a Bra.

I've never thought about it, and now won't be able to stop thinking about it 😆. Surely it's better for the environment not to be? Can't imagine they decompose/ burn easily.

My DD donated his body to science and we were warned that if he had an infection or anything contagious when he died they couldn’t accept his body. So a plan B is advisable

Two person job. Our people had certain techniques to make it easier (whilst completely respecting the deceased, no unnecessary manhandling). The softer the garment the better, obviously.

If you don't want to provide clothes for the deceased then the FD will dress them in a 'silk robe'. They're open down the back and much easier to dress the deceased as you only have to insert arms and the rest is tucked around the body. Sadly they're not actually made of silk, even though they're termed as such, but they come in white, blue or pink in case you have a preference.

Someone asked up thread if the FD provides plastic knickers in place of underwear. The deceased will usually have adult incontinence pants/pad put on, both to maintain their dignity from point of arrival, and to protect from any bodily fluid leaks that may occur.

My body is going to the nearest medical school.

You have to set things up beforehand because there are regulations about size and weight.

Also they don't take bodies on weekends and bank holidays so if you die then either your relatives have to organise a funeral or arrange for you to be put in cold storage.

I have a few medical conditions so helping to train new doctors seems appropriate.

On the bra thing.

If you are cremated you might not be allowed to have a bra with metal underwires.

Except for the time they cremated my DF with his glasses on his face when I specifically told them I wanted them back 🙄
But yes, bra on for me. I'm top heavy so they will be spilling over everywhere otherwise

I was thinking a non underwire bra when I posted this but you make a good point. Having said that I’m not sure a small wire will do much harm when you consider the amount of metal used to reconstruct joints

I remember picking the clothes for my mum and dithering as to whether I put the funeral home staff through the bother of trying to put her tights on. Gosh that really was a horrible, horrible day. In the end I decided mum would have wanted to look glam so I sent undies, tights, her favourite dress and shoes too.

I did wonder if the staff really would dress her, especially if there was no viewings. The weird thoughts that run through your head after a bereavement!

I think it must be what you die in going by all the Roman centurions, but that’s a shame as I have a great pair of skeleton pyjamas that I’d like to be buried in and they’d be fab for haunting.

I’ve never considered a coffin bra before, but I’m saying no thanks. I’d want my specs on though.

My mum went in vest and knickers (never thought about it until too late) when my sister went she had a decent suit and knickers, no bra I don’t think. I really hope my mum isn’t spending eternity in her vest. 😱 no wonder I think she’s haunting me.

sorry mum!

Is she haunting you in her knickers?!

I think ghosts wear the outfit that best encapsulates their life and who they were.

Though if I had any doubts about whether “visible” ghosting exists, the complexities of how they would generate a vision of their chosen outfit probably inclines me toward disbelief. Haunting “ feelings” or more cerebral haunting, however, might be rather different …

I hope ghosts don't wear what best encapsulates their life the only ghost I ever saw was a cleaner still cleaning imagine doing that for eternity

I’d not even thought about my glasses. I guess I ghosts need to see!

another Strange conversation I’m going to have with DM and DD

not something I’d ever thought about but a good question nevertheless
