My favorite Aunt, when my Uncle passed, negotiated like a tough business woman with the funeral sales guy and got a bargain casket. She casually said to me “He won’t know the difference.”
My wife and I have both organ donor cards and have requested the bodies we leave behind go to science. Our children will not be given a large funeral bill as our last gift.
Donate your body to the Body Farm in Tennessee,( that’s where I’m going) that way your body will be useful, and you will be recycled, you will become compost and your body won’t go to waste,
When I die, they can just bury me in a simple cardboard box. I won’t care – I’m dead and won’t know. You can actually get coffins made out of cardboard, but tastefully done.
Funeral homes wised up and started taking payment before you die.
Funerals used to take place in the home, but morticians couldn’t charge for that, so they created homes for funerals, i.e., funeral homes. Capitalism at work.
Mom prepaid for her cremation. Sadly we lived in a different state so I had to pay for them to hire someone in our state to do the work. No fancy urn. I used one of my mom’s lovely boxes. Put the ashes and a few photos and a trinket or two in the box. That went into the creche her hubby was also in. A few friends came, told a short happy story and then we all went to lunch. Her estate paid for the lunch. At the same cemetery there was a larger more formal gathering, with everyone in black, limos and flowers. Everyone looked so stern. Not the way we’d want to be remembered.

I’m a navy vet. I’m just thinking of have myself wrapped up in some sailcloth and dumped out at sea.

Just fade away. Live into your 90s and there we no one around who knew you or cared. Seen it.

My family and most friends opt for direct cremation, followed by a memorial service at a later date.

Get cremated, ashes in a Folgers can. Then get Walter and The Dude to scatter your ashes.

Actually, it’s “die first”. You don’t really need to pay for your own funeral.

Die at sea. Instant burial, and no need for a casket, or urn for the ashes.

Or die, and leave the cost to someone else.
