Seeing as Muslims are buried *without* a coffin, would it be allowed by law to simply dig a 6ft hole on, say, Exmoor (with monitored permission)? Cheap burial ;-)
BTW, I haven't got anyone in mind ;-)

I don;t think so due to the risk of it being dug up and the possibility of infection and contamination. I think you'd be OK with ashes although if it's a public place or area there might be restrictions.
I have ;)

That's not DIY, that's sub contracting. It's not the digging but the DIY filling in that I have a problem with!

i attended a funeral a couple of years ago of a local farmer. The burial was in some scrub woodland on the farm. Ther local authority has to give permission, but it is quite possible.

My next-door neighbour owned a few fields adjacent to their cottage. Both he, his wife and her favourite horse are buried in one corner of one of them, so in principle you don't have to be buried in a cemetery of cremated. They were Jehovah's Witnesses.

I don't think you need any official permission if you just want to scatter ashes, although it might be a good idea to clear it with the land-owner.

You build a frame to hold a trap-door above the hole, put all the soil on top, climb into the hole and pull the trap-door release cord. Of course, if you prefer to die before you are buried, you would need to rig up the release to some sort of heart monitor.

I was expecting the punch line to be "a mourning's work". :-)

Different country.... but my brother wanted his ashes scattered over a wild steppe with a view of a fjord and pine trees and all that in Norway, preferably within the arctic circle. We chose Tromso as the area, and had to liaise with the town bosses (not sure what they are called there) who had to get permission from people higher up who owned the whole area Tromso is in,
Bit of paperwork, and we had to mark on a map the exact spot we scattered his ashes, there were restrictions on the spots we could choose... ground water and things like that,
To scatter in one of the fjords would have been much less paperwork and everything, and they said most people don't even ask, but it's not really a problem over water.
