Those people who pay all that money could be giving it to lead the lost to Jesus instead of spending thousands on rocks, caskets, etc. Wrap them in a sheet, dig a hole, and there you are. The $50 dollar funeral.

That's how you treat your family members?

Or are you going to set the example and have it done to yourself that way?

BTW, there are laws about disposing of dead bodies, presumably to prevent the spread of disease as the decaying body seeps into the water table.

Great way to help the poor. Then people can spend all their money paying for their health care which will cost more in the long run than a decent, sanitary burial.

Way to go......

What a great money management.

I actually have told my family that’s what I want, and on my own land. No embalming, a sheet, and maybe a cardboard box.

I don’t want someone digging me up a hundred years from now and marveling how long my hair and nails have grown. That strikes me as weird.

Dust to dust.
