Lol. From Amazon! FYI, a pine box is $500 from them.

Great savings!

Don't they sell one in cardboard?

People think you are reduced to ash. Not true. They claw at the skull (usually intact) and large bones, then everything is shoveled up and put into a grinder. What's produced is bone meal.

What is your point? A few years in the ground and you are more or less worm poop anyway.

I wonder if a funeral home would even allow you to "bring your own casket". I doubt it.

I think the law says they have to let you bring your own. I'm sure if you did they would jack up the price of everything else though.

Ask for the price list.

Ask for the price list.

Easy to get around. A different price for a la carte vs buying one of their package deals.

I know someone who had some property out in the middle of nowhere that had an old family grave site on it. The original family died off or moved away and it was an overgrown mess. He chopped down trees and bush hogged it and made it look nice again.

This is one of the many old, abandoned cemeteries on my route. You can see the stone wall around it. Fortunately, the woman who owns this farm is taking care of it. She told me the story but I don’t remember it. She also let me go look at it one day.

They dig that up anyway. Cheap contractors mix anyway.

For shame. Should take better care of our dead

It’s crazy to spend all that money for a box that’s going in the ground. Plus, why waste the space in the earth for something that big when you can be put in an urn?

You don’t even want to know what my wife wants lol

As far as burial goes, I think Muslims have the best idea. They wash the body, wrap it in plain white cloth and bury it in the ground. Done. Cheap, plain and simple. Also a lot of praying.

A big elaborate to-do?

Good thing our plots were only $100

It's kind of like bringing your own food to a restaurant and asking them to cook it for you.

Cheapest casket and the plot was already purchased, my father in laws funeral was $14,000.

Holy crap! My mother wanted to be creamated. $700 and she’s still in the plastic box the funeral home sent her in. Lol.

NJ special price?

Not counting the plot I think its more like $6-8,000 here. Including an average cost coffin.

You wouldn't even spend a couple of hundred more for an urn?
