The thing that's missing for me here is the 'belief factor' one is led to believe prehistoric man had in being laid to rest in a barrow. We don't know what it was for sure we just assume, so are those stumping up £1,000 hoping for the same? Just asking!

I dunno... I actually think it's a really nice idea.

My issue is that the deceased aren't going to give a shite one way or the other. They'll know nothing about it. Is it all about the pose value while they're still alive? Or even for the relatives? Funeral costs are shocking... The money could be better spent on the living, IMO. Stick me in a cardboard box and chuck me in a hole for all I care. But wait till I'm dead, for preference. ;)
