Packaging fit for a funeral

[classic33]

Well, if you do insist on buying Grim Reaper kit...

Handle looks to be a bit on the light side, the Wong shape, and missing two shorter handles.

Other side of the scale went to a funeral a few years ago where the deceased had been shipped back from the US, she was in a typical casket that you see on US TV programs. It was that heavy (she was not) that they had to have 12 pole bearers to get it up onto the shoulders of 8 pole bearers instead of 6, they took nearly 20 minutes to get it out of the hearse as they couldn't work out how to do it, it was that heavy they couldn't manoeuvre it, none of their equipment was rated for the weight. Daft things was it had loads of metal in it & apparently they couldn't put that much in the furnace & she would have had to be removed before entering.

I was aiming my comment at a less expert audience...

It's too small.

Easy to carry though, for when you have a "client".

The box, or the box contents as shown in the first post?

I was thinking of the box; easy to carry under one arm while the scythe is carried in the other.

With a bit of expert CC folding most people would fit

I managed to fit a 10 year old into a 75 litre rucksack, a few years ago now.

I got a 2yr old in a tumble dryer.






Mrs Skol wasn't amused!

I ordered some loppers from amazon, the box they came in is easily 5'8" so if anyone would like a cheap casket, order these loppers and you'll get one!

9" too short.

As I'd like to be planted with my bikes, it'd not be big enough..
Maybe I'll have to order another few sets of loppers.

Very interesting, but I think you should let them back out now.
