You don't have to pay. Dig a hole yourself then.

The main price is the casket, which is a fucking stupid thing. Like really, how egotistical can humans be? Oh, let me just stop myself from rotting and giving my nutrients back to the earth.



Totally agree. Fuck caskets, man.:hippie:

well i agree that it is a bit too much nowadays, but then again "how can you put a price on a loved one", yea im sure many in the business take advantage of that. when one of my relatives passed this one dude with a suit who worked there who has to stand next to us during the ceremony, i think as a host, anyway this dude was too careless, there were signs that said not to step on the stones and this dude was stepping all over them not giving a fuck. i hate to judge but he gave me a scummy vibe. and when we were dropping the flowers when the casket is in the hole, this dude was standing right next to it as if making sure we didn't throw in anything inappropriate. i was going to through a necklace that meant a lot to me in there, but i just couldn't because the dude was watching and it made me really uncomfortable to throw it in, so i didn't. i don't know if was just my imagination but i was getting this feeling that he was only standing there to see if anyone through anytime valuable...so he could take it when everyone leaves...who knows though, i have a wild imagination.

anyway, i think the whole process with the casket and the burying and all the things you mentioned, is a good thing, even though it is not too cheap. it is meant for loved ones to feel more at ease, and it does bring comfort. its really not for the dead, but more for the living.
