A Pot Noodle-addicted gran had her favourite snack in her coffin in a one-of-a-kind send off.

Sandra Burnell, 72, of Newport, Wales, was so devoted to the quick meals that her family organised a themed funeral in her honour.

Her daughter Tracy Sharpe, 53, said Sandra ate the noodles every single day – but only ever stuck to Beef and Tomato.

She told The Sun newspaper: “If she was looking down she’d have loved it. She’d been ill for a long time and couldn’t eat a lot of foods.

“She started having them two years ago. She’d have to have one every night at 9pm. She loved the flavour and didn’t eat any of the others.

“We even put a couple in the coffin with her because we couldn’t let her go without her Pot Noodles.”

The quirky tribute extended to the order of service, which featured an image of her favourite meal and was coloured bright red to match the iconic packaging, and loved ones received a Pot Noodle to take home as a keepsake.

One attendee said: “It was a brilliant send off. You did an awesome job. It was a pleasure and privilege to be part of it!”

And another added: “I haven’t had this flavour in years. I’ll have one in memory of Sandra. RIP. Such a nice touch.”
