Mine was a great aunt about 1963. Folding chairs in the funeral home followed by the burial. Now a days seems like a 15 k 2 day process. My cousin that died at birth was a grave dug by her father and my grandfather. A simple ceremony. Why does it cost so much to die????

Christopher Columbus, the greatest Democrat of them all.
He left not knowing where he was going, and when he got there he did not know where he was. He returned not knowing where he had been, and did it all on someone else's money.

Same here, grandfather 1957, at a country church and cemetery built by my great grandfather. Mine will be very simple and low cost.

Mine won't. Same here. Burn my ass and dump me below my deer stand. No funeral, just a heck of a drunken bash and hopefully strippers.

Society used to deal with their dead as a family process and saw it through, literally from cradle to the grave. Now death has been made taboo over the past 60 years and the funeral industry has swooped in like vultures to fill the void.

Every time I see him he asks if I still smoke and when I say Yes he says "Thank you for the business".

Kissed his head as I saw him for the last time. Make your kids wear life jackets.

Grandfather, 79'. First one of the four to go.
My plot is paid for since 1983 when a Great Aunt bought a double plot next to the Grand Parents. When she passed she willed the extra space to me just incase I needed one as I was single at the time. Tia Amelia was a hoot, never married. She was always traveling around the the country taking care of family when they got sick.
Told the wife if she goes first that's where I'm sticking her. She was not amused.

There are no requirements where I live to involve a funeral home, have body embalmed etc to be buried on your property.
What if Jessie's girl is Stacy's mom, and her phone number is 867-5309

Highs cost to die are driven by the funeral industry, 100%. I wll be cremated and have my ashes scattered in the Superstition Mountains. I've already done this for a friend (scattering the ashes, not the cremation. Some things are best left to pros).

The three year old sister of a kid on my hockey team. I was 12 and that was a rough one.

I tried going vegan, but then realized it was a big missed steak.

Society used to deal with their dead as a family process and saw it through, literally from cradle to the grave. Now death has been made taboo over the past 60 years and the funeral industry has swooped in like vultures to fill the void. In the dirty south, funeral homes weren’t used. Dead were brought home, usually the main room ( living room). Someone stayed with the body around the clock. Called it “sitting up with the dead”. Also burned smut pots out in the yard so passer bys knew what was going on.
