Defrosting Granny

After waiting over 6 months for the coroner to finish with her, we've now got my 'dead-granny-in-a-freezer' back and can now have the funeral.

It's going to be a bit weird after all this time. It's turned into a bit of a macabre family joke. I mean, what is the correct form for this sort of thing?

She died, she was 97, things had been a bit rough for the poor old love since 'mad-poisoning-man' had his last crack at her and was arrested. We were all very upset, as you are, but relieved because of all the horrible stuff she'd been through in her last few months, as is understandable.

So we did our grieving, and then we waited. And then we waited a bit more. Then the cororner said 2 months. After 3 months, the coroner said 'it'll be a while yet'. And it was. He was trying to prove that the poisoning had contributed to her death, cos he and a colleague had come across 'mad-poisoning-man' before and they really wanted to do him for murder. But in the end he decided she died of pneumonia and old age.

Derrrrrrr, we could have told him that.

What we want to know is........
- when she was admitted to hospital because of the poisoning, for toxicology tests, 'they' said she was confused because she kept asking why she was in there when she wasn't ill. (I think that was a perfectly reasonable query, actually, because she wasn't ill).
- because she was confused (?) they sent her to another hospital for an assessment as to what sort of care she should have.
-while she was in hospital #2 she fell out of bed and broke her hip, they sent her back to hospital #1 for a hip replacement
- back in hospital #1 they said she was now infirm as well as confused (?), so had to go back to hospital #2 for another assessment
- fell again in hospital #2 and badly bruised nearly all of her and her head, back to hospital #1 for a scan
- eventually sent to the equivalent of a geriatric psychiatric home where she physically deteriorated in weeks
......... will this stress and suffering that 'mad-poisoning-man' put my poor old granny through ever be heard in court?

His trial has been adjourned, for the third time, I think. Her inquest has been adjourned. Its all a total balls up.

She could be a pain in the bum sometimes, but can't we all. My granny, and my grandad, spoilt me rotten when I was a kid. She was a whizz with a needle and made me the most wonderful fairy dress. She was the best cook in the world. I loved my granny.

Anyway, we've got her back. She's going to be cremated on Thursday. Are there instructions that say 'defrost thoroughly before cooking' or can we 'cook straight from the freezer'?

My family don't do anything normal, we can't even die properly.
