Will take this over freezing my nuts off.

You can always put on enough clothes to be warm=====so I'm going with that as opposed to having sweat dripping down my asscrack in this oppressive heat.

New York style-------and it's not even close.

That's all I buy and all I make at home.

India one country I have ZERO interest in visiting
This.

There is nothing about India that interests me.

The dirtiness of the country just offers another reason not to go.

I went down the proverbial rabbit hole and watched several videos of big production shops, mostly doing light to heavy duty metalwork. Those shops are pig sties with trash all over the place, enough so that the workers are walking through it with just about every footstep.

Huge industrial machines with little to no safety feature in place, workers wearing loose fitting clothes and most either barefooted or in sandals. Forget about any hard hats.

Hell, even their "Sacred" Ganges River is a cesspool filled with trash, the occasional half burned body from the funeral pyres they do near the rivers edge and untold amounts of human waste since they think nothing about dropping trou and pinching off a loaf right then and there.

That country is a shithole.

And pay $2.5k to “rent” a casket for this small time period

Is that accurate??? If so, that is outrageous, obscene and feeding off the family's grief at a vulnerable moment.

OH wait, we're talking about funeral directors-----------------never mind.

Check out the story about John List who killed his mother, wife and 3 children then went on the lam for damn near 18 years before being found living a very similar life as he had when married to his dead family.

A forensic sculptor did an age progression bust of his head and it was shown on "America's Most Wanted" and a woman recognized it as her former neighbor. She knew where he moved to and the authorities nabbed him and he was found guilty, sentenced and eventually died in prison at age 82.

There was a movie where the ashes blew back on the person who was disposing of them. Can't remember what it was.

---

Mel Brooks movie called "Life Stinks" when they were disposing of Sailor's ashes in a wind storm.

And he didn't just place them in an oil storage tank. He had to cram them through an opening that was too small.

---

Yep. The older of the two had scrapes on her buttocks and they found blond hair attached to the metal opening that was only 8 inches wide on that tank.

He elected cremation and asked that his ashes be dumped in Lake Ponchatrain.

---

That is exactly what my late mother-in-law wanted for her ashes and about 2 months after they were returned to the family, we went out to the lake and found an appropriate spot with a favorable wind and dumped them in the lake.

Pay attention to the wind and you should be fine. :cheers:

Burial - but that's mainly because I already own the rights to a space next to my Mom's grave in a small family plot along with my grandmother and other close relatives. It's either I go in that space or some random stranger does.

They do inter cremated remains in a burial container in the ground My Godfather (Paran) opted for this and is in the ground next to his better half.

Disposal of cremated remains is legal in all 50 states, but some states have specific laws concerning it and it can vary by state.

Especially in college ball where a player may be with a program 4 years of less----------and in most cases with today's NIL going on, much less.
