[QUOTE="ThatRobGuy, post: 76839914, member: 123415"] Burials in general are a waste (and often comes with unnecessary costs to the family facilitated by grifters in the funeral industry). I already have it set up so that when I die, my body gets donated to the science department of a university. They take care of any expenses, transportation, etc... Zero cost to the family, and my dead body will be put to a productive purpose. (as opposed to my family having to pony up a bunch of money because some funeral home director is trying to convince them that spending a lot of money on a box that will go in the ground is somehow a reflection of how much they loved me) Watched how much they tried to prey on my mom after my dad passed last year...had I not intervened, they pretty much already had her talked into shelling out $8,000 on a coffin, and another $1,000 on a suit for him to wear while in it. With emotionally loaded language like "Typically, families want it to be a reflection of how they want to remember him" (IE: [I]if you go with a cost-effective option, you must not really care about your dead family member[/I]) They even try to upsell you weather/water proofing on the casket...yeah, wouldn't want the decomposing body to get wet.
