Both of my parents were cremated because they told us before they did not want us paying big $$. They said that the wake is barbaric. These funeral companies prey on your guilt.

I had to take care of my Dad 2 years ago this past December. He died 3 days before Christmas. Shattered me as he was not only my Dad but was my best friend.

No wake.
$200 to church for memorial service (Catholic)
$3K for cremation and mass cards.

They are in walnut boxes in my house. At some point I may spread the ashes.

Cremated is my preference, but I don't care much. I'll be dead by that point, after all, so I won't be around to worry about what happened with returning my body to the soil from whence it came.

I’ve already established with the wife to spend the least amount of money as possible. Direct cremation and spread my ashes in the woods. The casket business is a legal scam, a top maker “Batesville” rakes in about $55,000,000 a month in casket sales alone.


My condolences op.

No announcements, wake or funeral...I don't believe in any of that stuff. Simple cremation and I don't care what they do with the ashes. I told my daughters if they don't follow through that I would be back to haunt them everyday for the rest of their lives...

I want wood chipper to be wheeled out and my body fed into it. Spraying it into a bloody pink mist in front of funeral attendees.



Then, dogs should be allowed to meander the field. Eating bits of my flesh and lapping me up.

frozen and then fired into space ina capsule to travel for eternity unless i get swallowed up by a sun or black hole or the gravity of a planet


or possibly some super advanced race of super hot sloots on a distant planet where all the males died out are able to bring me back to life and then want me to help them repopulate their planet with the hottest bishes and chill.

My mother-in-law just passed away. She wanted to be cremated so that we could take her ashes and spread them over the Atlantic ocean where her father was killed during World War II.

We thought it was a bit of a strange request. She was born in 1943, and he was killed in 1944. She never actually met the man. Anyway, we’ll follow through with her wishes.

My condolences op.
I worked in a graveyard as a gravedigger/attendant as yet another job I did to put myself through school. I saw what happens with these expensive caskets. I agree with you that the industry 100% preys on grief and vulnerability. "Look how comfortable mom will be in here...." Like really? The casket gets lowered in the ground, the family leaves, and buddy dumps a ton of dirt on top and literally crushes it down with the backhoe so the casket will get destroyed literally right now because if it starts to rot across time, it makes the ground sag, so when you drive the riding mower across all the plate gravestones in the ground you go up and down and up and down and you nick them and break the concrete. Sometimes when digging a grave next to another, you get a bit of spillover from the rotting casket and corpse next door. Broken wood, fabric, and the stench of death spill out into your 6 foot pit you just dug and mix with the +30C 100% humidity July heat and greet your nostrils.

The stories I have. What has been seen can never be unseen. So when I die, my family can do whatever makes themselves feel better. It's for them, not me. I couldn't care less.

Was in the Navy for 20 years so was thinking a burial at sea would be fitting.

Looked into it and you have to schedule it like a year in advance. So someone has to lug around your dead body for a full year before you can send it in for burial. That seems like a pretty tall order to ask of loved ones.

Not really sure what I want done. Cremation is the simplest and cleanest in my opinion. never liked the thought of just rotting away in some watery hole in the ground. If it were my loved ones down there I couldnt get that thought out of my mind. look at these crime shows when they exhume someone, its always full of water.

What sucks is my father and two brothers passed and mom has their urns, When she goes i will inherit 4 urns full of ashes. what the hell am I supposed to do with that. seems a bit much but cant really think of an alternative other than to buy a nice cabinet or something. Suppose i could intern them someplace but what happens if I move away? No one will ever visit an dthat seems sort of like turning my back n my legacy.

I feel sorry for my little brother as he doesnt realize he will be set to inherit 5 urns when i pass away.

Where my wife is from (Tuvalu), they'll often bury people together. Like if the husband dies first, they'll bury him, and when the wife dies, they'll dig up his bones, wrap them in a cloth, and put them in the wife's casket (they're all plain wooden boxes).

Her cousin told me about the time they dug up hubby's bones, wrapped them up, and put them on a shelf so they could put them in the wife's casket. After the funeral, they realized they had forgotten to put the bones in, and they were still sitting on the shelf. They just waited until another relative died an stuck him in with them.

Coast Guard will dump your ashes at sea for free. You don't get to specify a location, but they will give you the coordinates of where they did dump it.

Either dumped in a hole up at my mountain property (Ideally I'll dig it out and just lay down and rot one last time lol), and have wild flowers seeded all over. The other option is what I want the most, and that is to be cremated, have remains mixed with gunpowder and reloaded into shells. Hoping my hunting buddies will be able to lay a few out with "wrassler bullets" lol

Either thats just a Canadian thing or those are the old grave plots. Nowdays they lower a cement box into the hole and place the casket into the box and place a cement lid on top to prevent that from happening.

I read somewhere that some company takes dead bodies and turns them into diamonds. Who wouldn't want to be a diamond?

My sister's dingbat friend had that done with her dog's ashes. No idea how much it cost.
