You think weddings are a racket? Try funerals.

There's absolutely no reason why it should cost five figures to plant someone in the dirt. Our ancestors used to do that for nothing more than the cost of a pine box and the time it took to dig a hole.

Agreed. Funeral expenses also seem more manipulative, as people are vulnerable and don’t want to be accused or seen as being cheap for their lost one.

I totally agree with you. I would like to skip the whole “funeral” circus. Why should the grieving family have to put on a party for a bunch of people they don’t see on a regular basis?

I gotta tell you, there’s something kinda cool about paying for a casket at the checkout at Costco.

The funeral director was impressed with the quality and cost.
