How much are you worth after death?

How much $ would you spend on your burial? Stepson's mom had $20,000, included box, crypt, her pastor, luncheon for the mourners and an honor guard.

Husband and I are ash-to-trash. He is retired military, could have the honor guard too. But we are not ostentatious, we are pragmatic, and if everybody who died got a cemetery plot we would run out of land… and those mouldering bones will not re-animate (makes me think of Tales from the Crypt), religious ideas are weird to us.

So how much $ would you spend?

It’s not for me to decide, I think once you’re dead you’re dead. So whatever will bring my family peace or comfort they can do…if they want to bury me fine, if they want to stick me in a trash bag and dump me in the bin that’s cool too…it’s just meat and bones at that point

@SW-User Even if there is life after death, a used up body isn' going to be re-used.
