Mourners shocked as coffin bursts into flames three days before cremation

Relatives at a funeral in Thap Sakae, Prachuap Khirikhan were shocked when fire broke out in the early hours of the morning at a pavilion in a temple. 

 

Dried flowers and wreaths caught fire and a coffin containing a grandmother was damaged.

 

It happened on Sunday at Wat Thung Putthi in Ang Thong sub-district. The coffin was in place for bathing rites ahead of the actual cremation on Wednesday.

Funeral director Opas Simfa said he'd never experienced this in 30 years of the business. 

 

Apparently more decorative lights short circuited.

But a new coffin and more expense was not required. 

 

The relatives just turned the coffin round so the undamaged side would face the mourners.

...a total death trap?

[herfiehandbag]

 I wonder if this will plant the seeds of an idea? Now that the cremation of the Red Bull case witness has been delayed...

[RJRS1301]

Any sightings of her 3 days later around the district??

[poohy]

I guess we know where he/shes going then!

A few more flowers, another set of dodgy Chinese lights from Lazada and good to go... 

[Foghorn]

So the coffin didn’t burst into flames then , another false headline

[steven100]

so grandma is slightly cooked on one side. She can't even find peace at the crematorium 

RIP old girl.

Not a good idea to keep candles so close to the gasket, corpses can fart.

 

F.I.P

I am sad to hear about this problem to the Thai family. More care needs to be done as the coffin are soaked in Kerosene. As such I am asking all if some one can help me fine a Steal Coffin shop. I know the Chinese burial in Coffin, but can not fine any shops in Bangkok.

Thank you

Are you saying she blew a gasket ? 

[Lantern]

Well when they repair connections like this I'm not surprised. This was in my room last trip.

[ChakaKhan]

Well she sure has a final story to tell, once she gets where shes going.......a story for the ages, or a lifetime

[teacherclaire]

A short in the cooling system, or a fag from somebody?

 

  Poor grandma. We won't see what they do to us when our time has come, will we? 

 

Rest in peace, grandma.

That is what they call Wake and Bake.

Do they get a discount for the pre burn?
