Jeremy Clarkson has given an insight into his funeral plans and says he has no intention of scrimping on them following reports by the BBC that the cost of living crisis has left many people abandoning the idea of a traditional funeral and opting for a cheaper direct cremation instead.
With direct cremation, there is no funeral service. This won’t do for the Clarkson’s Farm star, 62, who says he wants his final send-off to take place in a packed-out cathedral where it will go on for a good “hour or two,” with mourners “properly sobbing”.
