Make burial expenses qualified health expenses or tax deductible...you can use health savings funds towards them.

I mean, it's not really something you have a choice about paying and it has to do with healthcare.

Just a thought.

They are deductible for estate tax purposes. Seems like that’s where they should be deductible.

Yeah but then you will have people out there collecting bodies, just to cheat the system.

What if youre paying for family members that are poor as dirt? Not everyone are Kennedy’s?

If abortion is healthcare, then funerals should be healthcare.

Cremate them and have a small gathering at your home.

I'd be okay with a small token amount (say $1k) as a deduction. However, people shouldn’t be able to deduct $50,000-$100,000 to have some elaborate funeral for their own vanity.

Funerals are expensive, I've been to and arranged way too many the last couple of years.

Nah, that's an invitation for government to get more involved.

Sounds like you want a hand out. How about take care of yourself it’s called personal responsibility.

This seems like a Taylor-made industry for these newly-arrived Haitians to establish. Puts them to work, paying taxes, like he Indian arrivals who run all the convenience stores. Tow a mini-crematorium to your house like those rolling BBQ rigs, and knock it out for a reasonable fee.

Get the mortuary industrial complex out of state & local government. There’s a reason some of the biggest and most elaborate building in small towns are funeral parlors. Death is a racket created decades ago by crafty lobbying.
