No funeral, no burial, no obituary in the paper.
If you or she have any estate at all, you may have to rethink the obituary. The past probate we did required multiple copies of the obit to qualify. For a number of charges, the obituary sufficed and was less expensive that death certificates.
Why do you need them? To close credit cards, to change names on utility bulls, to sell a car, a house, to close a bank account and move it to the estate's account (to pay for that carboard box and the fuel.

Burn me, boil me, stick me in a stew,
Pickle me in brine or dissolve me into goo,
Wrap me up with chains and rocks and bury me at sea,
But for god's sake don't spend money, on a stone nobody sees.

Do you even cremate baw??

An obit is fine… I don’t need a service. Who cares. I won’t.. why get people together just to say goodbye. If they dont contact you when you are alive, then why would you want
Them at a service.

Cremation for me and the wife can do what she wants with the ashes. No funeral, no burial, no obituary in the paper.

I’m a forty something year old man supposedly in my prime and stood on my future burial lot… time flies people, just really strange knowing the site of your demised body until God brings the resurrection of his Church…
You do realize you’re just a blip on the radar?
Everyone dies
You’re nothing special

People still buy burial plots?
I may have 4 for sale in Logansport.
Parents bought a few plots when the 1st pregnancy was stillborn and used another when oldest sister died in a car wreck. Dad was cremated and his urn is in Mom's closet and she will also be cremated eventually. So will I. Don't know what my other, living, sister is planning nor BIL but they are talking about moving to GA since their daughter will be marrying a GA native and they plan to stay in GA. (eldest sis died in Tulsa so we know how expensive it is to fly a body interstate for burial)
Grandparents had 4 and are buried in 2. The other 2 were for Mom and her sister but they had other plans as adults.

I will never understand taking up physical space on this planet after death.

Cremation, with my ashes placed in one of those natural urns that grow a tree. Only option for me. I don’t need to take up space here when I’m gone.

Better than getting eaten by a shark.

Have asked my nephew to make sure my ashes get dumped into the water near where Folly Beach was on beautiful Lake D'Arbonne. So many great memories out there!

Yep but looking at wreckage of a car or plane and knowing you made it out alive is probably just as impactful.
Happened to me, sort of. Rolled sideways off a mountain after hitting a patch of ice. Cab of the truck was crushed. Got hardly a scratch. Back and neck issues showed up years later, but going strong some 26 years later.

So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

I wish my whole family was buried in a family cemetery on family land. I like going see them from time to time. Illogical as it may be, it's comforting.
