With the cost of embalming and all it might be cheaper just to be stuffed. Since I'm already home and won't need to be transported back to Israel then I see no need for the box. If I was to be stuffed some jokester in the future might burn me for fuel on some cold morning.
Seems simpler and cheaper for my wife just to have me toasted and the ashes be buried out by my hounds and mutts. I guess ideally she should have my bones cleaned up one day before the 11 month deadline and reburied, but I don't think she will be willing to be out the expense.

Basic Cremation for my Uncle last year Dec. 2021
$2, 950. We're making the urn ourselves.

Just seen on the news the other night in order to be environmentally friendly, someone one has a patent on a machine that uses water and hydraulics somehow to turn one into soup then drys you out to nothing but dust. Wish I had been paying more attention at the beginning, but I'm sure we will be hearing more in the future.

here its 1000 dollars. Who is bringing the marshmellos?

With all add on charges, as others have stated above^^^?

If I die in the next 15 years or so, it will probably be in a place where no one will find my body and it will return to the earth naturally. If I get old enough that I can no longer go to those places, they can do what they want with it. I'll be elsewhere.

No add ons but the box..I asked if a walmart plastic bag would suffice.....they said no.

Wishes:
1. Was be ground up and used as bear bait and my wife and son can go on a lst hunt with me and I'm returned to nature. (not doable they say)
2. Cremated used as bear bait keep some if you wish. (wife says no)
3. Wife wants traditional burial and spend eternity next to each other. Guess that's the plan she is awesome.
4. working on burial at our apple orchard on our hunting land. Get to still be in on any deer drives!

Is it soup yet?

I got around to googling this and seems I had hydraulics and hydrolysis confused a bit. Seems after they turn you into soup and strain it thru a strainer and save the bigger particles for the urn. There will be more than with cremation so its takes a bigger urn. The rest is flushed into the waste water ( sounds environment safe to me, lol ). Sounds like you get more for your money.

And yeah, its not a new process, just new again. Someday burying will be the new cheaper method, lol.

Thou art dust and unto dust you shall return. We were made from the dust of the earth.

Prior to my dad's death, he told us kids he pre-paid for his funeral. So, we wouldn't have any cost to worry about. He felt comfortable about that. This is what he was led to believe. His funeral was to include embalming, viewing, church service, etc
However, upon his death we were told about certain "extras" that weren't included in his pre-payment. Such as $800 to transport his body from nursing home which was 8 city blocks away from the funeral home. $300 to put his name in the local paper. Someone had to identity his body at the funeral home. They charged $300 for one of us to view him which they had added makeup to make him presentable. To transport his body to the church and set up that portion of his funeral was around $2500. So, we opted to have him cremated and a small service at the funeral home which costs $1200. There were some other smaller charges like an urn, etc. In the end we had to fork out close to $3,000.

Pre-paying for your funeral isn't what it seems.

As a Trustee of a cemetery, I can see one major problem with scattering someone's ashes. Most of the time there is no record of the person's ashes being spread . No headstone, nothing written anywhere, you just dissappear. What if down the road some relative, say 100 years from now wanting to visit his Great Great Grandpa's gravesite? What if they are wanting some kind of information on where they came from?
I enjoy going to graveyards and reading various headstones. You can learn a lot from those who were here before.

I have a friend who was the superintendent of an old, local cemetery. He told me once they had to move some graves from the 1800s to another area of the cemetery. I don't remember why they needed to move them.
I asked him that old of a grave there can't be much left in the casket.

He said back then they had wooden coffins. They would find bits of wood and the only thing left of the body was a different color of dirt.

Well that's cheap. Here they sell all in one, WITH ***exceptions

Doesn't make sense Complete but not complete

cemetery charged 1500.00 to open the grave, funeral home 400.00 for the use of a tent! Lots of extras you don't think about.
