Absolutely true.It conjures great images in my head: "Y'know, Caitlin, who was it who did your father's funeral? They did a lovely job, so they did - I'd like them to do mine when I go. What was their number again? Was it double 4-1, or double 3-1? Oh I can't remember - there's only one thing for it ..."
*dig, dig, dig*
"I KNEW it was double 3-1!"

In case the occupant has any complaints later on?I don't know...
However, I recall a long time ago squiggly/wavy lines working on an excavation in Bloomsbury, that involved exhuming/relocating a number of 19th and 18th C coffins, and I dimly suspect some of those had Makers Plates on the ends, so it might not be a new thing in that industry!

You should have logged them and seen if any of them were still going.I remember my grandad telling me "Beer, bread and burying" - they're the three industries to go into - they never go out of business, even in war.
