re: Overnight caskets. Any experiences?

If you're over a certain age you should plan out your own final arrangements, put aside the money out of your own pocket in a joint account and leave specific instructions. I know it is morbid but it is better than leaving that task and expense to your bereaved loved ones.

There's peace of mind and absolution in knowing this is the cemetery plot where daddy wanted to be buried, this is the headstone he wanted, this is the funeral home where he wanted a small service held, etc...

Depending on where you make the arrangements, many funeral homes actually allow you to pay for the services now so it's already done. Don't have to worry about price increases if you live another 5+ years, get to pick exactly what you want and not worry about people changing it to go cheap and "save money", and won't have to put any of that burden on your family during a difficult time.
