Exploding coconut 'sent fear' through crematorium staff
"...'I've had a biker whose family wanted him to wear his leathers. Obviously we couldn't do that'..."
Not obvious to me. If suits and dresses ok, what's so outrageous/dangerous about leather?
"...The funeral director said on one occasion she was even asked if an extra set of underwear could be placed with the deceased..."
Well, if the deceased suddenly woke in the furnace, an extra pair of pants could prove a useful starting point!
