Why do we spend so much on coffins?

This has to be the dumbest thing on the planet. The person is dead, he doesn't need to be laid in a comfortable 10k dollar container. Put them in the dirt and let nature do its thing. You're not gonna dig them up to get a look at them again

I've made it known to my family to get some plywood and screw it together and I'll be happy I saved them 10k

It is dumb. Its a huge racket.

My will is going to demand cremation and demand surviving family makes chocolate milk out of me

Massive racket.
Graveyards themselves are complete wastes of what is usually prime real estate.

Yep, couldn't care less what they do with my body. Sprinkle ashes somewhere if they really want to, but don't take up any space.

How OT poor are you exactly?

I probably need to make it more clear in my will that I would prefer a hefty bag and left out for the trash pickup.
Is cremation the cheapest or do they charge coffin prices for the most modest receptacle?

It really is. Mourning people aren't rational and funeral home owners know this. They'll try to upsell you on expensive coffins and services like cement. They will prey on your desire to preserve the memory of your loved-ones.
I actually took a BS course on death and dying and the funeral home business is incredibly shady

Take a look at the cost of a funeral with a black owned company vs a company like Rabenhurst. It's about a third of the cost for the same service

We do it because the decision makers are typically upset/distraught when they meet with the funeral directors. The funeral directors then show you the expensive options to take advantage of said emotions. People don't tend to make very smart decisions when dealing with these situations.
