This is gross … and I would have sworn illegal.
And it’s on the increase.
There’s a shop online that even has a monthly skull subscription… and there’s masks and wallets made from human leather.
I’m going to be cremated or that new method when they reduce you to a kind of slurry.
Given that the government is happy to skin us alive (and when we’re dead) Morty, it might as well tax us on the sale of anything they can get from our rotting and decayed carcasses.
You know, it begs that old question again doesn’t it.
How owns a dead body?
The owner is dead.
I’m gabberflasted … I’ve just googled the shop it mentioned on the Guardian, found it’s website … had a look
A human skull, with mandible, sells for 795 quid.
And there’s even a ‘Something to sell’ section.
Oh dear, it’s truly sick … there is some rotten stuff on there.
Hi
I am with Morty here.
I did a number of exhumations, in the days when I was the Home Office representative required in those days to be present.
I much prefer the idea of cremation, which I have already paid for.
It’s truly sickening …I’d rather lick the telly … what’s happening to the world
Strange how the state is very quick to try and tax your estate when you die, but isn’t quite so forthcoming in paying for your funeral.
My family had a human skull on the mantlepiece for most of my childhood. It was a medical specimen from India (my old man was in the RAMC there during the war).
I am afraid it hadn’t been treated with much reverence, the eye sockets had sooty marks where candle stubs had been burned in them. (not while we had it)
Don’t know what happened to it but I think my mother gave it away when my old man died in the late 1980s.
