Storylines
17 April 2015 - Linda Carter was having trouble with paying for Stan Carter funeral. Pam and Billy suggested the Solid Oak, which is the most expensive casket at £3,800. This casket was the one that Carol's chose for Jim Branning funeral.The package also included embalming, dressing, the hearse and one limo.

Linda still could not afford it the cost and Pam gave the casket to Linda at cost price, which reduced £1,500 of the final amount.
