Viewing a corpse in a $10,000 box is macabre to me
Just curious if it would be less macabre in say a $3K casket?
All kidding aside one of the best gifts you can give your children is paying for your own funeral years in advance.
We locked in the 2020 prices to have the family vault opened if the need arises.

One of my uncles was a millionaire and owned a little 200 acre farm which he loved.
Cancer took his life and before he died he asked the family to have him cremated and to spread his ashes over the land.
It was strange but they did it, no one in our family had done anything like that before.

Isn't cremation pretty expensive as well?
My step-father did a pre-purchase at Seale in DS for an $1100 cremation. When mom died, I called Resthaven bc they were a couple blocks away. When I went in to make the arrangements, they told me $5,000 to cremate her. I told them I would have Seale come pick her up. They then suggested I talk to their Ascension Parish home. I drove to Gonzales to sign the paperwork for $1100. Resthaven then sent me an email saying that I should rest easy, they did the cremation in BR so my mother never had to move. They made me pick up the ashes in Gonzales though.
Cremation for me, and Alx is to scatter my ashes in Lac Ophelia.

Find someplace where it’s legal to do so and bury me straight in the dirt. No box. No embalming. They call it green burial. I just can’t do cremation. Burning would be one of the worst ways imaginable to leave this world. Even though the dead can’t feel pain, I still don’t want it happening to what’s left of me.
ETA my whole family seems to be moving toward cremation. The very old folks are still doing caskets, but everyone under age 80 yearns for the urn.
