Apologies if this was already posted.

The company used an unofficial Sydney Swans design on one of their coffins for the funeral of a woman in Melbourne in December and wanted to expand the range to include other clubs.

Outstanding show of club loyalty. RIP.

Should the AFL allow the use of the club colours/emblems for funerals?

I say yes!

I don't care whether they allow it or not, let them try and take me to court after the cremation.

They won't let you through the pearly gates.

You may get in at the other door though!

No, they just chuck you out of the area if you haven't paid your $20 membership at the start of the season.

if the funeral companies charge for it as a service then they can pay for the licensing too.

Respecting your beliefs and therefor no disrespect intended gs14, but that warning would be wasted on me ... can we leave it at that ? Thanks.

That's probably the sensible way. I just hope that it doesn't become too commonplace. I mean, do you want to cheapen it in the long run? There are other ways of recognising a person's devotion to their football team.
