All of our lives will reach an end eventually, and I think that in our day-to-day lives its necessary to accept that. While I understand that in some cases a burial service can help your loved ones deal with the grief of your loss, I don't think the actual process should be too expensive or dramatic to avoid being a financial and additional emotional burden to the people left behind. As someone who has gone to plenty of expensive funerals, seen an allegedly gold plated casket, known people who have flown a corpse back to their country of origin just so they can stick the body in a hole in the ground, to me the practice is getting to be a bit much.

I would never want an elaborate death ceremony for myself but ultimately it's never your choice. Just wanted to get people's opinion

Just another way for them to squeeze every dollar out of us, even the money we don’t have

My will is gonna state to cremate me.

You could toss me out back into a dumpster for all I care. Use that money on something useful.

Probably.

Been told my fam that i don’t want a funeral. Just drop me somewhere cheap or cremate me. Don’t waste excessive money.

Live and let live

its expensive to die

Crazy how people are flipping tombstone placements out here worked with a guy that made a gang of money of that lmao

Mix my ashes with Runtz tbh

It’s for your family not you, but I’m tossing my parents in the trash

The homies after putting me in a blunt
(respectfully)

Bury me in some Evisu jeans

i mean hypothetically you could just never claim their bodies at the hospital

let people do what they want

Slippiest slope to ever exist

i don’t see anything wrong w celebrating someone’s life

Flying someone’s body so they can be buried in their homeland is well worth it

Helps people grieve or some form of closure

why do you think so?

Not even just to their homeland, but if someone has a strong emotional connection with a particular place and wants to be buried there, it just intuitively strikes me as the right thing to do

i think they are an important event and some of the traditions represent a key part of the grieving process for a lot of people. sadly the costs of things are inflated very heavily

After my sister passed, we cremated her, as she had told a few of us that god forbid anything ever happened then that’s what she would want.

My family and I ended up going to London this past Christmas and New Years, and we celebrated her there since it was her favorite place to live and work when she was here.

We still gave her a proper sendoff and scattered her ashes in a very beautiful memorial garden at a funeral home there.

It was a moment that I will never forget, and I believe she would be happy with it. I miss her very much.
