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?

Funerals are to impress those that come to the funeral. you have heard it.......talk of how cheap the casket looks. Where are the live singers? How small the after buffet was.

The only person not impressed on a $15,000 casket is who's in it. The dead don't care and an hour after the funeral no one will else will either. Pay what you can afford.......and screw the ones that came to look.
