markem 7,326 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Sadly one of my cousins passed fairly recently, difficult time and looking back it’s not funny however recall the tension being momentarily lifted between my cousins and me when someone said ‘his Mum wants him buried in this years kit, who the fuck is going to explain this to her?’ Absent friends - may they all rest in peace 1690tamRFC, The Specky Forum Organiser, Rangers#1 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom0411 1,228 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 My brother in law who lived in Toronto was cremated wearing a Rangers Premier Club tie that I sent him. Everytime a new club tie was issued I would send him out the previous seasons. I was quite chuffed when I found out.

piperpete 3,186 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 9 hours ago, The Widow's Son said: Many years ago, I attended a funeral in Scotland - paid my respects at the home of the deceased and his family were big bluenoses. There was a Rangers scarf in the coffin. The deceased also wore a lodge tie and a Rangers lapel badge a Just a quick question: does this still happen in auld Scotia? Somehow it seems to belong to a different age and yet it's comforting for us auld yins. Apologies beforehand if this brings up sad memories for anyone. Yes if they are buried re the badges, if it’s a burning the undertaker would remove anything metal before the lid was screwed down for the last time Bad Robot 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WATP-FOREVER 5,231 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 One of my brothers passed with cancer. Unbeknown to me he wrote the speech for the wake - he selected the music, 'Simply The Best' at our Presbyterian church. In his coffin, I found out he insisted on his Rangers top (McEwan's Lager). And his favourite badge; 2 balls & a cane (for those that may not know): Falcoholic and minstral 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes when you live away from Scotland and come from another time period, you tend to think that the fans are not as strong or staunch as they were in your day. No evidence of this in these posts. No worries there m8 , on the park and in the boardroom we've not been worthy of Rangers but our troubles have seen the fans rally and their loyalty and dedication has been nothing short of astonishing . minstral 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AGC123 1,232 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Done it for my gran, ensured i was the last one in. Had to be done she was a dyed in the wool. It gives me great comfort knowing she was sent off with it. I believe she would have expected me to. Fast forward a year or so, having a conversation with my uncle (her son) he was upset he never thought of it but delighted knowing i did. For me its a must.

big blue Fin 3,724 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 My grandparents were buried with their lodge sashes back in the 1970s, my dad with his Masonic regalia and my mum with her old Rangers scarf dating back to the 50s.
