A friend just had a bare bones (pun intended) for his father. $4600. I can't imagine how much the whole circus would cost. Casket, embalming, mortician, funeral parlor, flowers, plot, stone. Have to be upwards of $15,000 it is, my Mom passed 18 months ago, $12,000 and we cut every corner we could yeah, they act nice, and were "very sorry for our loss" but at a time when you don't want to be making decisions and aren't in the right frame of mind, they pick the carcass bare my will is legal, the hell with them Is the 🚽 flushing part stipulated in the will or is that between you and whomever you’re bequeathing your ashes to?

They tried to talk us into going the whole nine yards. Especially when they found out me, my brother and my sister were well off. Almost a "c'mon you cheap fuckers, you can afford it." Neither my Mom or my Dad wanted a funeral my stingy German Grandpa sure as hell didn't, I always felt the family put him through a big expensive funeral against his wishes, so important to have it in a legal will..

Ugh. It would’ve killed him all over again. I have a good family friend who was a child in Germany during WWII. Not Jewish. She doesn’t throw anything out, I mean almost nothing. She’s a landlord. Very purposeful woman, wonderful nurturing person. Stingy like you don’t see everyday in the US.

Mom passed close to 2 years ago now.... she had bought 2 plots over a few years. One for me. I told her I wanted to be cremated, but she hated the idea of my body being burned. So she secretely bought me a plot, head stone, coffin, and put 5,000 for a funeral. I have 8,500 set aside for huge party. I have a largish estate (although below that can mean nothing). That was just what I put in for the party I was going to have. I originally was just going to have relatives spread ashes and have a party.... now seems like I am going to have a plot, coffin, etc and a party.
Mom's complete funeral was 19k I think. Mom had enough put away that it paied for that my shit and 4k for each of her kids in it. Not to include the rest of her "estate." Mom had a note that the 4k was for each of us to go have fun.
Dad had a huge estate then he had a heart attack, 4x bypass, got fired because the company he worked for, for 30 years got bought out 2 years prior. The new company had nothing in Dad. So after 3 months of in hospital (it was hardcore heart attack) they told him he would have to work 80 hrs a week to get caught up. He physically couldn't. They fired him 1 year before being invested in his Pension. He went on cobra insurance but kept having problems. Then after cobra went out but before SS/MEdicare with too much money for Medicaid. He got hit with a Pericardium and Pleural infection that built up. AFter 3 boughts it ate up a lot of money. Then seeing everything draining away he put money in a investment that you give the X amount and they give you a X a month no matter what the investment does. If it does well then you get your original back. He did this to survive. This started June 2001. September 11 happens and tanks the investment. From 1999 to 2002 Dad lost 2.3 million dollars. AFter the 3 years of hell he had a House, 60 acres of land, 5,000 cd, and a funeral account for 15k. His funeral was 11 years ago it was I believe 16k.
He still had 3 years until he was illegible for Medicare/SS luckily he was in Airforce during Vietnam. He never set foot there. In fact he was in exact opposite of SE Asia... Sagalak Bay Newfoundland... He got Disability and VA insurance/Medicare 3 years early. Even with a brother tax lawyer it took a while to get Disability and 5 years for him to get 80% of his pension. His kids helped but this started happening when we hadn't made it well enough... Hell I was just out of College when he had his original heart attack.
This man skrimped, saved, and was a tight ass his whole life. Bad health, Bad luck, and corporate greed can fucked him over.
I guess what I am saying plan, save, and get wills done but a twist of fate can bring in down like a house of cards.

I do. My sister and daughter get everything. And I'm to be cremated in a cardboard box, if they don't make cardboard coffins, a pine box will do. And the ashes are be flushed, any toilet will do. Bombs away baby! I don't have a will, but I have life insurance. I told everyone that I don't want any expensive crap. I think the funeral industry is extremely predatory and uses peoples emotions as a tool to rob them blind. I said, "If they'll let you take my ashes in a coffee can, then do that."

At least have them do something better than Folgers. That's just disrespect to the dead.

I just drafted my 1st, want it done before I travel. 1 page. My son is the executor and gets everything.
But if he goes first, my buddy is executor and I have 20 people getting various percentages.
My dad said "Don't throw money into the grave."

Sure do.
Houses, cars, investments go to the Mrs. If neither of us are here... goes to our child(ren). Simple and straightforward.
If I survive until retirement though and make out well enough... 25 - 50% will go to church/charity. The rest would go to the family. Since I cannot take it with me, I can put it where it will do the most good, right?
First donate my usable organ save for my eyes (always squeamish with them...so no way). After that, cremation... hopefully spread out across our property in the countryside. Cheap funeral.... I don't need the send-off. Some close family would be fine if it helps them out. But id rather my funds/resources go towards them as I wont need any of it.

I want to be entombed, with my body surrounded by a maze-like labyrinth with traps and maybe a giant pinky ring to attract adventurers to their doom.
