Boggers funeral

Brilliant count me in.

 

Out of respect I will keep it polite...
It looks like something from shameless.
Paddy dont give up the tarmac laying just yet. Interflora you aint.

 

Malaka

 

For quoting an obvious truth? I dont think so...
Be careful you dont land his mrs with a crass embarrasment of a wreathwith this hair brained idea.
It should be about her and him and not us!

 

Isn't it a tribute for him from us to her?

 

No one mentioned putting a photo of you on it.

 

Well carry on then. But dont say that nobody said its a terrible idea.

 

No it should be about him.it is his funeral so his life should be celebrated.

 

The wreath design was a first draft. if anyone has suggestions for additions to it or removing stuff,make your feelings known. If we are to make it happen, a design needs to be settled on shortly for someone to send to whatever florist is making it. Maybe put up a poll, whether members think its a good idea or not and we can stop going around in circles

 

He aint going to see it, she is and will want everything to be as perfect as it can be.
On reflection I think a wreath from a bunch of people who never met him is a crap idea. Far better to make a charitable donation. Take egos out of it and give it some thought.

 

I fail to see what this has to do with egos. Am I missing something

 

I could feel wakey was going to get upset by me saying I think its a crass idea. My reputation preceeds me sometimes and perhaps some might think they have invested credibility in the well meant idea.
Just think about it before you go ahead with this.... Thats all I am saying.

 

But its a forum. What you think means no more or less than anyone else. It would be handy to get a show of hands or whatever to see what the majority thinks we should do. I dont mind either way as Im only familiar with Irish funerals and we do tend to make a fuss. Your traditions may be different and more low key and I respect that and understand if its the case

 

I think the board was quite a big part of his life. He posted over 7000 times, and read most threads.

I think we need to ask her.

Who's got facebook?

 

For what it's worth... Would his wife had posted on Facebook had she wished to keep it quiet, personal and family only?? Just thinking out loud...

She obviously posted on Facebook as she wanted all his friends to know.

And I've never known a funeral myself where you're not permitted to send flowers, I think it looks quite sad when someone has a service and there are few flowers.

Do we really want to hassle her with something like this?

I say JustGiving Page people donate if they want to, a wreath gets sent, surplus gets given to the MS Charity, don't bother his wife, a nice card with it saying from all at the Not606 forum and IF his wife wants to follow that up one day she can do.

 

I think I remember from her facebook posting that she wanted to hear stories from people hed known, one way or the other. Personally, I think just a donation does not do Boggers justice. I still look out for his posts and have to remind myself hes gone

 

Fair enough and its a good idea IF funeral details are not out yet, and therefore no instruction on flowers exists.

But for the record I am not sure your logic is correct, I have posted here 38,000 times and you lot mean feck all to me.

 

And thats why you wont be getting a wreath when your time comes

 

Its one of at least two reasons why I wont care.

 

I mean a donation for a wreath, I agree with you.

I think it's simple, people who agree can donate, if they don't agree don't donate. I also agree with you that we can have polls, debates, and whatever else but at the end of the day those not happy just don't contribute, time is ticking on

We know from the 101 Brexit threads what happens when people don't agree with a majority
