That’s just it. Birds poop on the car and leaves have to be swept off the driveway so your tree would get chopped down. Also, kids aren’t allowed to play outside and these precious little bubbles might fall and get hurt on a swing.

I went from multiple times a year going to atlantic city to once every Several years.
I dunno. Getting older maybe makes you think straight.
I was getting closer to needing that money one day!!
Hope you are well :)

Another reality is that funerals have really expensive $$$$ over the years as well. Not surprised by all these changes.

It makes no difference whatsoever. Salvation comes ONLY through Faith in Christ as the Savior. There is no connection whatsoever to ANY works of man, including burial.

Could it be that not only is cost a factor($$$$),but with less faith,is it any wonder that there are different types of funerals?

I understand the cost factor, but wants to have their body sprinkled on the ground so people can walk on it?
Or who wants their body put in water in which people swim.
It’s about the dignity of God’s created bodies.

Most cemeteries now permit the burial of ashes on top of the casket of another grave. For example, my children’s cremation could be buried on top of my husband’s casket.
