I said years ago as the cost of weddings was rising amazingly, that sooner or later someone would come up with the idea of a pot luck wedding, where the guests would bring a dish.
Now: If we could just get some people to dig a hole and bury us we could save a quick $15,000 dollars on funerals. Bring your own shovel funerals. I think is’s atrocious the cost of throwing a dead body in a hole.
LOL I like bring your own shovel funeral...I told my kids to cremate me and edge the head stone, dump my ashes in the troth and you won’t have to pay for their interment...We have a large family and they stand around the grave so no one would see them digging.....My daughter insist I be with her father (he’s already in the grave) so she said thumbs down on just letting me blow in the wind....
That's because people won't pay attention to what is going on around them and before you know it, some funeral directors org has pressured their favorite congress critter to pass laws requiring cement liners in graves, sealed coffins etc. Government is the main reason it cost so much to bury people. He**, you can't even bury your pet in your own yard any more.
Cremations cost about $2,000 these days.
