I agree first when my mother passed away the funeral wanted $5.000.00 up front then they try to sell us more stuff which we said no. Her total cost was like $10,000.00. Then when my father died they wanted again $5,000.00 up front then another $5,000.00. Thank God he had a life insurance policy he got from his work because we used it all for his burial.
This is insane that these funeral places are jacking up prices on all of us making it difficult to bury our love ones. I don’t see the Democrap shouting out that poor people are being enfranchised.

Bill Cosby had his son buried on his estate and Andy Griffith is buried on his estate. I thought it was against the law to bury on a private property.

There are probably regulations that allow it if the acreage is above a certain amount and the depth of the grave, the liner, the marker and the tax bite meet certain requirements.

Usually requires a variance in the local zoning laws, which can be arranged; of course. It’s easier if you’re a celebrity and live in areas where zoning laws are lax to begin with (that is certainly the case in much of NC)

As I recall, Mr Griffith was buried on the day be died,’without being embalmed.
