Big news article in a recent newspapers said that the cost of funerals
has become so expensive that people can no longer afford to die.

Well, the cost of living has also gotten to the point that people cant
afford to live either.

Cremation is much cheaper. You only rent the casket (if you want
viewing) and there's no plot to buy. Besides, you get a nice urn to
place on the mantle.

Yep. and if you don't want a big funeral bill, buy a "pre pay" plan.
That cuts out the funeral director's opportunity to twist the
survivor's arm and add unwanted costs, upscale the casket, etc. etc.
and believe me they are very adept at doubling what you expected to
pay.

For veterans you and your spouse can be buried in the nearest vet's
cemetary for free (plot, actual burial only), or have your ashes
either scattered or a spot for an urn with your name and service
details on a nice bronze plaque.

One should have the entire thing all planned out and an executor
named. That executor needs to have all your written out wishes,
people to contact, pre-play policy, etc.

I had a discussion with my neighbor about it. "It is too depressing
to think about"...Well just how "depressed" do you think your
survivors will be when they have to do it and have no idea what you
wanted?

I read once about a musician that was so rich he spent a year dead for
tax purposes. I never heard how well it turned out.

A childhood friend is a 3rd generation funeral director. He will tell
you that a lot of that comes from the families for various reasons such
as wanting to show off or maybe guilt etc.



For veterans you and your spouse can be buried in the nearest vet's
cemetary for free (plot, actual burial only), or have your ashes

In the UK you can DIY bury someone in your back yard if you want.

We have Sikhs over here agitating for DIY funeral pyres too.

Best to have an envelope containing instruction where others can find

I was surprised to learn in Las Vegas, you can bury family members on
your property. Is has to be recorded with the city/county records.
Then it has to be disclosed at sale of the home.

No word on burying dead burglars :-/

A good idea to have a _Power of Attorney_ letter with the papers.
Then accounts can be closed and settled.

Mom has all her arraignments pre-paid, etc. There are three folders
kept stored away by family members.

Reincarnation, and donate your unwanted human body to medical science?

(I wonder if it's legally possible to donate your body to somewhere that
doesn't have medical interests - e.g. McDonalds?)

Depends on the size of the family and number of close friends, their
religious beliefs, and presence/absence of specific instructions in the
Will. Sometimes it's impossible to avoid a big show.

If the coroner does not require an autopsy, one is not desired by the
next of kin, organ donation is not accomplished, and the body was not
traumatically mutilated, anatomic donation to a medical school is
usually at zero cost to the next of kin.


A very wrothwhile thing to do.

I'm pretty sure you can be autopsied if the law finds reason to
require it, donate those organs that are good to go, and still donate
the rest of your body to a medical school. If parts are missing, they
can look at the other table.

I've been carrying an organ donor card all but 6 months for the last
42 years.

And I'm typed and registered as a bone-marrow donor too, for the last
20 years (which doesn't require being dead, in fact the opposite), but
I think I got their annual newspaper that says I'm too old to give
bone marrow. (How can that be if it's still working for me?)

In many states, it is legal for the mortuary to cremate the remains
without a casket. Ashes can be scattered at sea or returned to the next
of kin in a simple cardboard box. Funeral parlor services are not
obligatory. Placement of the ashes in a columbarium or grave is not
obligatory. Not entirely free, but probably the most cost effective.


The mortuary I went to once, had a bunch of expensive caskets on
display and hid the cheap ones. 15 years ago, 100 dollars for a pine
box. I'm not sure about cardboard in this state. Didn't Sears say
it was going to start selling coffins cheaply, or Walmart?

Powers of Attorney expire when you do. (Also checking accounts and
uncashed checks, etc. The checks become a claim against the estate,
paid it is hoped at 100%. )

Then accounts can be closed and settled.

Mom has all her arraignments pre-paid, etc. There are three folders
kept stored away by family members.


I suspect everything in your family is done right, and the power of
attronery and medical power of attorney is for when she is still alive
but not entirely with it.

Then go down and buy a pre-pay plan. As for the casket. One is not
needed if there is to be no viewing, nor is embalming required. I
thinkg the specification is "Immediate cremation".

Even cremation has gone way up. I started the process a few years
ago, then procrastinated at that time they quoted $700 range. This
year I finally did it and it was already $1700 and change. It won't
get any cheaper.

?? If you are talking about adding 'extras' when you buy the pre-pay
then yes, of course but _you_ have control of them not a survivor who
can have a guilt trip laid on them for going "cheap".



For veterans you and your spouse can be buried in the
nearest vet's cemetary for free (plot, actual burial
only), or have your ashes either scattered or a spot for
an urn with your name and service details on a nice
bronze plaque.

So you will just dump the decisions and costs on your survivors? Nice

The embalming part is to cut down on the stink. Some of our (Ex) LEO's can
tell you how far too many "check on the welfare" calls turn out. Imagine
the worst piece of rotten hamburger you've ever smelled. Multiply by 1000.
Add in the stench of nuclear BO. I don't know why, but the stench of dead
humans is readily distinguishable from the scent of dead dogs or deer.
There's that general rotten meat smell - even a bottle full of dead bees
smells like it - but there's something far, far worse about human
decomposition. Imagine every stinky human smell you've ever smelled in your
entire life rolled into one.

So I think it's in deference to the living that we embalm so readily. It's
probably also why some religions require very quick burials.

Only if you report it to the recorder's office.

Local guy buys a house, begins to garden and then finds skeletal
remains, so he reports it to police.

The previous owner failed to mentioned he buried a body in the back
yard. Warrant is issued for the previous owner...

In the UK you can DIY bury someone in your back yard if you want.

Do you have to disclose this fact when you sell the house?

I was surprised to learn in Las Vegas, you can bury family members on
your property. Is has to be recorded with the city/county records.
Then it has to be disclosed at sale of the home.


Wouldn't it show in a title seach?


Only if you report it to the recorder's office.

Local guy buys a house, begins to garden and then finds skeletal
remains, so he reports it to police.

The previous owner failed to mentioned he buried a body in the back
yard. Warrant is issued for the previous owner...


45minutes later, CSI figures out (from the skeletal remains, only) that COD
was a heart attack.

Neat trick to be able to look at a skeleton and diagnose "heart
attack"...

You see, there is a certain protein called abagaba formed when you have
a heart attack and where he was buried he was naturally provided with a
rare fungus that surrounds and preserves the ababgaba, although naked to
the unaided eye it stands out when being fumigated with schmenkathin and
some komethathale applied with a spray mist bottle with a very small
amount of high octane gasoline added to the komethathale. Of course the
gasoline can not contain any alcohol! Simple!

AH! So that's it. Thanks for an explanation that cures my
skepticism. Nothing like the scientific facts to set things
straight.

Tony's a good man. But he forgot the two drops of Ultravein
III in the komethathale spray, and the CSI guys using the UV
light to make the abagaba fluoresce. They didn't show that,
so as not to have copycat detectives use the technique.
