    My dream is to die with absolutely nothing but massive bank debt. I have no living relatives, so there is no one to get the money from. I mean, “Hello Mr. Twat you have terminal cancer” next stop is the bank to take out the biggest loan my excellent credit will let me get. Tom Selleck the house go to Vegas bet it all on black until it’s gone return home and burn the house down around me fuck the bank…a boy can dream lol

    Graveyards are a waste of space & good land. Land is for the living. Cremation is the way; it is clean, responsible, & considerate.

        Quark: I think I figured out why Humans don’t like Ferengi.

        Sisko: Not now, Quark.

        Quark: The way I see it, Humans used to be a lot like Ferengi: greedy, acquisitive, interested only in profit. We’re a constant reminder of a part of your past you’d like to forget.

        Sisko: Quark, we don’t have time for this.

        Quark: You’re overlooking something. Humans used to be a lot worse than the Ferengi: slavery, concentration camps, interstellar wars. We have nothing in our past that approaches that kind of barbarism. You see? We’re nothing like you… we’re better.

    I don’t care what happens to my corpse, because I’ll be dead then. Never understood, why people still care nowadays, religion I guess.

    Casket+ includes a lid! Only $59.99/hour (surge pricing if used between hours of 10pm and 8am)

    Don’t you love your dead relatives? Or are you cheap?

    My grandpa handmade his coffin with some really nice walnut. Quilted the inside I believe. He’s still kicking, so it gets used as a prop at Halloween

    Costco sells caskets. Seriously. Order one online on the cheap.

    Best part? They have multiple (positive) reviews.

        You get to keep them before you die. I’m assuming people have em in their garage and lay in them to test them out.

    It’s actually something good to invest in. My wife’s grandmother did it in like the 80s, and all the family had to do was pick out sandwiches for the wake.

      My dad really wasnt much of a dad, when my grandmother died and he got left a little money we had a pretty frank conversation “I never expected you to leave me a cent, because I never expected you to have one. So do me a favor, prepay your funeral with some of this money then piss the rest up the wall for all I care. Just dont stick me with a bill when you go.”

          Well… I AM the next of kin. Its not like I hate the man, he was just a pretty shitty dad. He has friends and family who would want a funeral to attend. I can legally speaking say “Not my problem” and the government will give him a free cremation and return the ashes to me or my sister but thats it.

          Me getting him to prepay it wasnt just a smart investment for me, it also meant that he couldnt kick the bucket at the worst possible time and put me in a position where I had to chose between looking after the best interests of my family and keeping the mortgage paid OR giving him a decent send off. Because honestly, in that spot he would lose.

          Selfishly I do hope he doesnt manage to spend it all, but knowing its paid is just something I know I dont need to worry about.b

            Ah fair enough. Yea I love my mom and she wants to be buried in her home country but life is for the living. I’m planning on cremating her and splitting the ashes among my siblings. Not gonna waste money on a service or anything, I know she wouldn’t want that at least. If my extended family wants a service they can pay for it themselves I won’t be attending.
