My friend's father died at the beginning of February, in Bedford (where he had lived for 30 years).
He was cremated in Bedford - but the ashes sent by courier to the Isle of Man!
A former mariner, his ashes are to be scattered at sea.

No chance of finding that in the future?

And, a year or so ago, father-in-law was cremated on Isle of Man; ashes scattered at Old Trafford  ;D
Which may cause a problem as footballers who are Muslim are not happy about ashes being scattered on the pitch!

Where does the claim that Muslim footballers are unhappy about ashes being scattered on the pitch come from?
