What else shouldn't you put in a coffin ... ?

A coconut that was placed inside a coffin "sent fear" through staff at a crematorium when it exploded.

Bolton Council has urged mourners to abide by crematorium rules and not "slip" items into coffins.

Donna Ball, Assistant Director of Community Services, said a "hell of an explosion can sometimes occur".

Other items of concern include mobile phones, TV remotes, e-cigarettes and bottles of alcohol.

Ms Ball told the BBC: "We are asking people to be considerate regarding the items they place into coffins before the cremation process.

"We have seen a rise in things like e-cigarettes, bottles of whisky and vodka, golf balls, sometimes golf clubs, and mobile phones. Mobile phones in particular are a real issue for us".

People should ask permission to place something in a coffin. For the reasons you have highlighted.

Uh-oh! Just before Uncle Fred passed this past tuesday, he requested that we cremate him in his Mercedes. Umm... excuse me, I think I need to get down to the Glendale Crematorium before 10.
